Error: "415 Unsupported Media Type" trying to configure Veaam plugin for VCD

Products

• VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

• When attempting to add or configure the Veeam Service Provider plugin within VMware Cloud Director (VCD), an organization metadata entry tries to be created and the operation fails with error:
  
  415 Unsupported Media Type

Environment

VMware Cloud Director 10.6

Cause

The plugin incorrectly utilizes the application/json content type when interacting with the VCD API, which is not supported for the specific metadata operations required during configuration.

Resolution

Contact Veeam support to address the issue with the incorrect Content Type that is being used by the plug-in operation to update Organization metadata.
