Have you tried this @Cragdoo? Work with VMware vCenter connections

looking into that , just thought the script in the original post would have come across this and rectified

the script in the post does have

    param([PSCredential]$Credentials)
    
    #edit this to change VCenter server address
    $Vcenter = "cd-lab-vc1"

    $ESXiConnectionTest = Connect-VIServer -server $Vcenter -Credential $Credentials -NotDefault

    if ($ESXiConnectionTest.IsConnected -eq 'True') 
        { 
        $cache:VCSession = Connect-VIServer -server $Vcenter -Credential $Credentials -NotDefault
        New-UDAuthenticationResult -Success -username $Credentials.UserName
        }
    
     
    New-UDAuthenticationResult -ErrorMessage "Your Credentials were not able to authenticate with $VCenter."
      
}

Yeah not sure. Seems like they got it working somehow but I dont actually have any ESXi stuff to test this particular dashboard on.

I got the same error when I ran the dashboard.ps1 script.
Fixed it by adding
$null = Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -DefaultVIServerMode Multiple -Scope User -Confirm:$false
as the first line.

Cheers!
