If 8.3 name creation is disabled on the host machine, do not install the vSphere Web Clientin a directory
that does not have an 8.3 short name or has a name that contains spaces. This situation will make the
vSphere Web Client inaccessible.

6 Enter the information to register the vSphere Web Client with vCenter Single Sign-On.
The vCenter Single Sign-On administrator user name is administrator@vsphere.local, and the password
must match the password you entered for the administrator user when you installed vCenter Single
Sign-On. The Lookup Service URL takes the form https://SSO_host_FQDN_or_IP:
7444/lookupservice/sdk, where 7444 is the default vCenter Single Sign-On HTTPS port number. Your
entry should match the entry you made when you installed vCenter Single Sign-On. If you entered a
different port number when you installed vCenter Single Sign-On, use that port number.
7 Click Install.
8 Start the vSphere Web Client by taking one of the following actions.
If you are starting the vSphere Web Client for the first time, open a supported browser, and go to
n
https://vSphere_Web_Client_host_name_or_IP:9443/vsphere-client.
In subsequent sessions, you can start the vSphere Web Client from the Windows Start menu, by
n
selecting Programs > VMware > VMware vSphere Web Client > vSphere Web Client.
N After you upgrade the vSphere Web Client, when you log in for the first time, you may see the
OTE
error message
session from the previous version remains open when you upgrade. In this case, refresh the browser
and log in again.
What to do next
Install the Client Integration Plug-In in the vSphere Web Client. See
the vSphere Web Client,"
Install vCenter Inventory Service Separately by Using Custom Install
You can use Custom Install to install vCenter Single Sign-On, vCenter Inventory Service, and vCenter Server
separately to customize the location and configuration of the components.
These instructions install vCenter Inventory Service only. You must install vCenter Single Sign-On before
installing Inventory Service and vCenter Server. For most deployments, you can install vCenter Single Sign-
On, the vSphere Web Client, Inventory Service, and vCenter Server together on a single host machine using
the vCenter Server Simple Install option. See
"Install vCenter Single Sign-On, the vSphere Web Client, vCenter Inventory Service, and vCenter Server by
Using Simple Install,"
N vCenter Server 5.5 supports connection between vCenter Server and vCenter Server components by
OTE
IP address only if the IP address is IPv4-compliant. To connect to a vCenter Server system in an IPv6
environment, you must use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or host name of the vCenter Server.
The best practice is to use the FQDN, which works in all cases, instead of the IP address, which can change if
assigned by DHCP.
