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

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

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 6.7 which contains improvements  and important changes to the APIs. For more details about the SDK please refer to the vSphere Web Client SDK page https://code.vmware.com/web/sdk/67/web-client.
