vCenter on windows server: automatically redirect to https and port 9443?

BlizzardX · 1 Jun 2015 at 08:03

Hi

I've got vCenter 5.5 installed on a server 2012 r2 installation dedicated to that function. Is it possible to get the setup done so that if I type vcenter.domain.com on the internal network it automatically redirects to https://vcenter.domain.com:9443/? While its only a small thing, it would save me a bit of time and I wouldn't have to remember to type https?

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Caged,

Thanks. That simple eh? Was expecting something a lot more involved as vcenter doesn't appear to use IIS! I'll give it a go!

I'm a noob and this is not thankfully a production environment so understanding this concept is taking me a wee longer than I had hoped, however thanks for the pointer!

Yeah I found this out and stopped messing. Trying out vCenter 6 now which doesn't need you to list the ports, although it is still built on the very dumb flash system so not compatible with bloody mobiles or my tablet!
