Errand `register_admin_ui' doesn't exist

I actually have the exact same thing. I'm not able to explain why the errand is not found in the release, as I'm not that familiar with bosh. Running the uaac commands manually indeed gives basic access to the UI, but a lot of pages give the This page requires data from services that are currently unavailable error.

In other words, +1 for this issue and any help would be appreciated.

Okay, so this was actually quite easy to fix. As suggested in cloudfoundry-incubator/admin-ui#89 the issue was that those specific tabs try to fetch data over HTTPS, which won't work out of the box with self-signed certificates provided by bosh-lite.

Fixing it is rather easy though: you need to add cloud_controller_ssl_verify_none: true to your release manifest, which will make it look somewhat like this

properties:
  admin_ui:
    cloud_controller_uri: https://api.x.x.x.x.xip.io
    cloud_controller_ssl_verify_none: true
    uaa_admin_credentials:
      password: admin
      username: admin
    ui_admin_credentials:
      password: admin
      username: admin
    ui_credentials:
      password: user
      username: user
    uri: admin.x.x.x.x.xip.io

By running

bosh deployment releases/<your deployment>.yml
bosh deploy
# verify and accept changes

Your changes will be applied and deployed. Note that the first time you access the admin UI the tabs that used to work like DEA and Apps might now give you an error. Just give it a couple of minutes (~5) to pull in the first data. After this all tabs should work.

@jamesecahill I highly doubt you're still looking into this, but anyway: ping :)

👍 Thanks for the useful info @RickvdP. I'm not working with it anymore, but I'm sure this is helpful for other who run into the same issue. I'll leave the issue open, as it would be great if the errands worked to register this stuff automatically... But I don't have time to look into fixing it.

@jamesecahill the errands where added in v4 (you where using v3). Since then v5 has been released. I have updated the README to point to v5.

Thanks @rkoster!
