Download and Import the vSphere Client Metadata

You must import the HTML5 client metadata for each host that you want to use to access the vSphere Client.

1. Select Compliance > Hosts.

2. Select a vCenter Web Client Server from your list of hosts.

3. Click Download HTML5 Client Metadata to download the metadata file.

   Note: If the metadata buttons are not visible, you may be missing the Asc.SAMLConfig privilege. Contact your CloudControl administrator to have the Asc.SAMLConfig privilege added.

4. Log directly into WCS as administrator. Do not use the PIP.

5. From the Home icon, select Administration > Single Sign-on > Configuration.

6. On the Configuration page, click SAML Service Providers, then click Import to import the metadata file that you downloaded.

   Note: You may need to install a certificate if you have not previously configured the web client. For more information, see Managing Certificates.
