The Client Integration Plug-in provides access to a virtual machine's console in the vSphere Web Client, and provides access to other vSphere infrastructure features.
VClient is a native Mac application to manage VMware vSphere vCenter and ESX(i) servers: v1.3 supports macOS 10.14/Dark Model, together with vApp, Resource Pool, Data Store, Network, vSphere 6.7 features and MORE! Running the vSphere Client on a Mac OS X is something the Mac users want to be able to do. This video demonstrates the fact that it is possible.
You use the Client Integration Plug-in to deploy OVF or OVA templates and transfer files with the datastore browser. You can also use the Client Integration Plug-in to connect virtual devices that reside on a client computer to a virtual machine.
Install the Client Integration Plug-in only once to enable all the functionality the plug-in delivers. You must close the Web browser before installing the plug-in.
If you install the Client Integration Plug-in from an Internet Explorer browser, you must first disable Protected Mode and enable pop-up windows on your Web browser. Internet Explorer identifies the Client Integration Plug-in as being on the Internet instead of on the local intranet. In such cases, the plug-in is not installed correctly because Protected Mode is enabled for the Internet.
You cannot launch the virtual machine console in Internet Explorer without the Client Integration Plug-in. In other supported browsers, the virtual machine console can run without the plug-in.

The Client Integration Plug-in also lets you log in to the vSphere Web Client by using Windows session credentials.
For information about supported browsers and operating systems, see the vSphere Installation and Setup documentation.
