Welcome to VMware vSphere Client/ vSphere Web Client Plug-in Certification Program

The VMware vSphere Client/ vSphere Web Client Plug-in Package enables our partners to certify their vSphere Client plug-ins.  These plug-ins connect to vCenter Server instances by using a Web browser allowing users to manage their vSphere infrastructure.

This package falls under the SDDC Integration umbrella. Maintaining membership in SDDC Integration is a pre-requisite to gain access to the vSphere Client/vSphere Web Client Certification Program materials.

Package Overview

Partners develop their plug-ins using the public vSphere Client / vSphere Web Client SDK which provides libraries, sample plug-ins, documentation (including best practices) and various SDK tools to help you develop and build user interface extensions to the vSphere Client/ Web Client.

VMware recommends that partners use the vSphere Client/ vSphere Web Client SDK 7.0 which contains improvements  and important changes to the APIs. For more details about the SDK please refer to the vSphere Client SDK page under SDKs on code.vmware.com

Key Benefits
