Revert Configure Tab to Manage Tab
You can revert the  tab back to the former Manage tab presentation in the vSphere Web Client by
editing the webclient.properties le.
In vSphere 6.5, the Manage tab for an object (vCenter Server, Datacenter, Cluster, Host, Virtual Machine,
and so on) is renamed to . Within the  tab, the subtabs are removed and replaced with a
aened menu. You can use the  tab to perform the same tasks that you performed with the
former Manage tab.
If you want to revert this tab's presentation back to the Manage tab's presentation, edit the
webclient.properties le to turn o this change.
N Certain changes to the vSphere Web Client are not controlled by this changed ag. For example, the
Permissions tab style cannot be reverted.
Procedure
1 Log in to the vCenter Server you want to make this change.
n
Use SSH to log in to a Linux-based vCenter Server.
n
Use RDP to log in to a Windows-based vCenter Server.
2 Edit the webclient.properties le and change the navigation.tabMode.convertSecondaryToToc ag
from true to false.
n
For a Linux-based vCenter Server, the webclient.properties le is located in
the /etc/vmware/vsphere-client directory.
n
For a Windows-based vCenter Server, the webclient.properties le is located in the
C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\cfg\vsphere-client folder.
3 Log o from vCenter Server and log in to the corresponding vSphere Web Client.
Example: Example webclient.properties Configuration
If you changed the webclient.properties le to revert to the Manage tab presentation, the lines will resemble
the following:
# Flag to enable the use of a single TOC view for the configuration of inventory objects.
navigation.tabMode.convertSecondaryToToc=false
To turn the tab back to the  tab presentation, change false to true.
Install the VMware Enhanced Authentication Plug-in
The VMware Enhanced Authentication Plug-in provides Integrated Windows Authentication and
Windows-based smart card functionality.
In this vSphere 6.5 release, the VMware Enhanced Authentication Plug-in replaces the Client Integration
Plug-in from vSphere 6.0 releases and earlier. The Enhanced Authentication Plug-in provides Integrated
Windows Authentication and Windows-based smart card functionality. These are the only two features
carried over from the previous Client Integration Plug-in. The Enhanced Authentication Plug-in can
function seamlessly if you already have the Client Integration Plug-in installed on your system from
vSphere 6.0 or earlier. There are no conicts if both plug-ins are installed.
