Environment

vCenter 8.0 U3

Cause

The vSAN plugin download is failing due to reverse proxy configuration failed. The rhttpproxy have recently enabled the JWT authentication for their REST APIs. The vSphere-UI code was assuming that the JWT is needed only for requests to the new REST API but this is incorrect - it's also needed for the old file-based APIs.

Resolution

Upgrade the vCenter version to 8.0 patch4 (24322831)
