Troubleshooting clients
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| TLS certificate errors | Use :443 with verify=False / insecure/allow_unverified_ssl=true only locally, or use plain HTTP :80 |
| 401 on first call | Send Authorization: Basic … only to /api/session (or SOAP Login); every other call needs vmware-api-session-id |
| 403 on power/create | You may be using readonly@vsphere.local — switch to administrator@vsphere.local or operator@vsphere.local |
| VM not found | small seed VM names are web-01, web-02, db-01, app-01, jumpbox — not Proxmox-style numeric VMIDs |
| Create returns a MOID, not a task | REST POST /api/vcenter/vm returns the new VM's MOID synchronously; only power/clone/relocate/snapshot/OVF-deploy return { "task": "…" } |
| Provider create vs task | Poll /api/cis/tasks/{task}; many providers (Terraform, Pulumi) already wait internally — raw HTTP/Go/Java/Perl clients often forget to |
| Drift after reseed | Refresh/recreate Terraform/Pulumi/Ansible state after make seed |
| Session expired mid-run | Sessions have a 2-hour sliding TTL; re-login if a long-running script idles past that |
SOAP Login fails |
Confirm the envelope targets /sdk with SOAPAction set (empty string is fine) and Content-Type: text/xml |
