I simulated REST request via cURL software and dispatched a request to vCloud as follows :

curl -i -k -H "Accept:application/*+xml;version=1.5" -u ' :password' -X POST https://1.2.3.4 

As mentioned in 

http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/03/exploring-the-vcloud-rest-api-part-1.html

But i got the following response:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found

Date: Mon, 09 Jun 2014 21:32:01 GMT

Location: https://1.2.3.4

Content-Length: 0

But i should have got HTTP 200  as response. Anything wrong with my vCloud configuration ?

Thanks,

Karthik

After configuring knife.rb with:
knife vc configure
Please try with:
knife vc login --org-login abc-lab
otherwise you can set:
knife[:vcloud_org_login] = 'abc-lab'
inside knife.rb also

Is https://1.2.3.4/api/versions correctly answering?

if https://1.2.3.4/api/versions

is not displaying info regarding apis there is probably something to check on vcloud director installation/configuration.

I cannot check with vcloud sysadmins before next week when I'll be back to work.

Cheers,

I could see vCloud director web console at 

https://1.2.3.4/

with the admin username and password, i could login to the vCloud system.

https://1.2.3.4/cloud/org/abc-lab

with the username and password designated for the organization, which logs me in to the organization directly.

Can you see vcloud director web console? Is it working properly?

If yes, which is its address?

The url you have configured in your example could be too deep.
Usually you only have to specify vcloud director fqdn listening on https port, without any web-context.
In order to verify the correct url, you should try to list supported api versions from your vcloud director installation (you should receive an xml answer):
https://yourvcloud.server.url/api/versions

For previous example what has to be configured for knife-vcloud is just:
yourvcloud.server.url

You can try the configuration with:
knife vc login

If previous command gives a positive answer please read carefully knife-vcloud Readme for what concerns vcloud login configuration, IDs and names and verify what kind of account you are using:
- when a vcloud OU administrator, you have to specify --org-login parameter
- when a vcloud system administrator, you have to specify --org parameter (see "Browse multiple organizations")

Hope this helps.

I downloaded vcloud plugin from the URL
https://github.com/astratto/knife-vcloud and i setup the configuration using

knife vc configure command

and entered the details below:

URL - 'https://1.1.1.1/abc/cloud/org/abc-lab/'
username - 'karthik'
Password - abc

where 'abc-lab' is the organization name in the vcloud environment. Once the
configuration file is created, I gave the following command,

knife vc org list

and it returned 404 resource not found error. Any help appreciated.
