VMware have been sitting on their virtual laurels for too long and the "rot" has started to set in and by the looks of it, no one in management cares enough anymore to deliver the high quality software that we were used to in the past. I'm truly sad to say that after about 10 years of investing my time and knowledge in vSphere (and VI before that), I'm starting to reach a point at where it's just not worth it anymore. I just can't believe how VMware just cannot get this fixed. it just doesn't work in either Chrome or Firefox. This thing is now permanently broken on my Mac and I'm running 6.0U1 and the latest CIP for Mac. For vSphere 5.5 customers, a back port is currently being worked on but there is currently not an ETA. When is it released, the KB will be updated and you can subscribe to it for the announcement.Īnd same here. You can also find more details noted in this VMware KB 2130672. I want to give a big shoutout to my buddy Blair who shared this KB with me as I was having issues after the Chrome update. For vSphere 5.0/5.1 customers, the only work around is by following this VMware KB 2114800.
VSPHERE WEB CLIENT DOWNLOAD FOR MAC UPDATE
This means to apply the fix, you MUST update BOTH the vCenter Server as well as the updated CIP which is provided when logging into the vSphere Web Client. The fix includes both a server side and client side component. UPDATE (10/27/15) - For customers running vSphere 5.5.x, the NPAPI fix has just been released as part vCenter Server 5.5 Update 3a. Some folks had to perform a reboot, especially if you have more than one user on the system which could still have existing running processes. If you are still having issues after installing the update, make sure you clear your browser cache as the old plugin may still be cached. This fix applies to both a vSphere 6.0 and vSphere 6.0 Update 1 environment which I was able to test myself as I have both deployed.
VSPHERE WEB CLIENT DOWNLOAD FOR MAC MAC OS X
You simply just need to download and install the following new version of the CIP package for either Windows or Mac OS X and you will be able to restore the functionality that you once had which no longer relies on NPAPI. The latest release of Chrome has now completely disabled NPAPI support, but luckily there is a simple fix. You may have noticed that the Client Integration Plugin (CIP) for the vSphere Web Client no longer function when you try to upload an OVA or trying to use the Windows Session Authentication feature. For those of you who recently updated to Chrome 45, which apparently I did as well or more likely it automatically did it for me.
