Thanks. That and Olli Ries' reply got me further along. A browser on
the same ip network got me to a warning of invalid certificate. Come
on, guys! Accepting that got me in.

The setup went OK from there. It did not find the AP, possibly because
of firewalling issues. The VM and the AP are on different class C
networks. I noticed that the Unifi software couldn't even correctly
detect the network it is on.

My initial reaction is that this stuff is fine for a large network, say
a corporation or big office. It is way overkill for what I want to do,
and the further time and effort I would have to put into configuring
the VM and the Unifi software just aren't worth it. So back goes the AP.

Thanks for the support, folks.
