SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\jre - Navigate to the
ssolscli.cmd
directory. By default, located inC:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\SSOServer\ssolscli\
. - To identify service details for the configuration, run the command:
ssolscli.cmd listServices https://ssoserver.domain.com:7444/lookupservice/sdk
Wheressoserver.domain.com
