Hi, I am a new user and Im just filling our database with data ... our passwords are stored in a KeePass DB and I have successfully connected to different RDP-Server an Websites and the passwords were always applied. Now I tried the same for the VSphere client but I have the same problem as the user here:

https://forum.devolutions.net/topic8430-vsphere-login.aspx



I am working with 12.5.1.0 64-Bit.

Thanks!

Hello Peter,

RDM send the username and password with the Vpxclient.exe executable.

Could you open a command prompt. Go to your VMware Infrastructure client application, the default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher
Once you are in that folder within the Command Prompt windows, could you type:

VpxClient.exe -U root -S "SERVER_IP" -P "PASSWORD"
Change the "SERVER_IP" by the IP of your server
Change "PASSWORD" by the root password.

Best regards,

David Grandolfo

Thanks. I found the problem. My password starts with a hiven (-) and thats obviously something which the VpxClient does not like. Probalby because it thinks that a new parameter begins. Hmm ... do I really have to change the password?

Thanks!

Could you try to add quotes in your password saved in RDM: -test --> "-test"
