I reviewed the snapvol.cfg within the AppStack and, sadly, I found that it was set to exclude anything under ProgramData\VMware directory. And I found that the certificate generated during the install was not captured to the AppStack. I found out that Client Integration Plugin adds a vmware-localhost entry to the hosts file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc directory, but it required me to flush the DNS before the hosts file took effect.Įven then, I found that the plugin would not work, so delving into the CIP log files showed that the certificate was missing on C:\ProgramData\VMware\CIP\csd\ssl directory. Looking at the web console, I noticed that a web socket request was failing due to unresolvable host name vmware-localhost. However, when I logged in to the desktop, attaching the appstack that I just provisioned, I found out that the client integration plugin wasn't starting up when I browse to the Web Client. Unfortunately, it appears that that is not possible.Īfter capturing and ensuring vmware-csd process was not running, I went ahead and finished provisioning the AppStack. So with the new client integration plugin that basically acts as a web socket service, I updated the AppStack to include the new versions of the Client Integration Plug-in.
