Properties

Password

Server hostname or IP

FQDN or IP of the vCenter or ESXi endpoint (no scheme or port).

Username

e.g. Administrator@vsphere.local for vCenter or root for ESXi.

VM name

Exact VM name on the ESXi host.

Default443

Server port

Defaults to 443.

Trust store path

Optional path to a PKCS12 trust store containing the CA certificate(s) used to validate the vCenter/ESXi server's TLS certificate. If omitted (or if the path does not exist), the JVM's default trust store (system CA certificates) is used instead. Certificate validation is always enforced; this plugin never disables TLS certificate validation.
