An administrator is receiving an error when trying to connect to View Composer from the View Administrator. The environment has been upgraded from 4.0.x.
Why can the connection not be made?
A.
The network port is no longer valid.
B.
The View Composer service must be restarted.
C.
An incorrect certificate was chosen during installation.
D.
Security certificates cannot be migrated between versions.
composer port on 4.x was 18443 on 5 is the same
Why is the answer A ?
Can you explain please?
Correct
When the wizard prompts you for the View Composer port number, verify that the port number is set to 18443.
The upgrade changes the port number, which was previously 8443, to 18443 because vCenter Server 4 and later releases require port 8443.
