#4544 [HHQ-4454] vSphere plugin - Username and Password parameters

[Hyperic Team]

http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-4454
vSphere plugin - Username and Password parameters required to be explicitly set in agent.properties

The Username and Password parameters need to be explicitly set for the vSphere plugin to function:

agent.setup.camLogin=<Login>


agent.setup.camPword=<Pword>

These values should not have to be explicitly stated in the agent.properties file; they should be read automatically when user runs setup.

It is also bad to show any password in plain text.

Expected Result:


The vSphere plugin functions without having to explicitly state username and password in agent.properties file as with all other plugins

Actual Result:


The vSphere plugin requires username and password to be explicitly configured in agent.properties file.

Steps to Reproduce:


1. Install hq-agent on Windows Server hosting VMware vCenter Server


2. Do not modify the agent.properties file


3. Start hq-agent and configure during setup


4. Note the vSphere plugin will not work


5. Edit the agent.properties to explicity state the username and password setup parameters


6. Restart the hq-agent


7. Note the vSphere plugin will now function correctly
