Hi everybody,
As mentioned in the thread description, I have a problem with adding a new VMware vCloud Director connection within the VMware Orchestrator configuration.
The problem is the follwoing:
I login to the Orchestrator (configuration page -> https://ot001m1.fqdn:8283) and open up "vCloud Director 5.1"-plugin and click on "New vCloud Director Connection".
I'm entering the following informations to connect to the vCloud:
Available: yes
Host: devcloud-portal.fqdn
Port: 443
Max connections: 600
Connection timeout (ms): 20000
Organization: system
Authentication strategy: Basic Authentication
Shared Session: User/Pass
After adding all informations, I'm hitting the "Apply changes" button and the plugin is trying to reach the vCloud-Director(s),
but it's only throwing me an error:
Peer not authenticated or
Connection timed out
The login credentials I provided are correct and I also added some certificates to the "SSL Trust Manager" in Orchestrator Network tab...
I also created a new certificate with SAN attirbutes (Subject alternative names), in case that Orchestrator is checking for SSL certificate compliance...
Do I need to import the SSL cert (incl. the SAN attributes) to the vCloud Director Cells?
I have some screenshots attached, to display the issue in a graphical method...
I hope someone is able to help me out, to understand what the problem in my confiugration is.
Some details of my configuration:
vCenter Setup: VMware vSphere 5.1 environment + ESXi hosts running ESXi 5.1 build 1065491
vCloud Setup: each vCloud Director is using vCloud 5.1.1 (two vCloud Directors running)
Orchestrator: Orchestrator Appliance 5.1.1 build 2942
vShield: vShield Manager Appliance 5.1.2 build 943471
The vShield Appliance is used for load balancing -> both vCloud Cell Director's were load balanced via vShield
Please let me know if you need more informations about the setup.
Thanks in advance and greetings,
Steven
