you set during SSO installation, the master password, and also any changes made to the

vCenter Server and IIS
Despite the fact that vCenter Server is accessible via a web browser, it is not necessary to install
Internet Information Services (IIS) on the vCenter Server computer. vCenter Server access via a
browser relies on the Tomcat web service that is installed as part of the vCenter Server installation.
IIS should be uninstalled because it can cause port confl icts with Tomcat.
After you complete the installation of vCenter Server, browse to vCenter Server's URL
(https://<server name> or https://<server ip address>) to open a page that allows you to
install the vSphere Client.
The vSphere Web Client connected to vCenter Server should be the primary management
tool for managing vCenter. However, if you don't have access to the Web Client Server compo-
nent, the older vSphere Client can manage vCenter, ESXi hosts, and also their respective VMs.
