vmware vsphere client5.5在xp上安装问题

出现该问题的原因是新版本vSphere Cient中增强了加密强度，而Windows XP和Windows Server 2003未能达到所需加密强度,因為 ESXi 停用了較不安全的 vSphere Cient。
winxp下，viclient5.1以上版本无法连接到ESXi
主机ESXI 连接解决方法：
1. 开启SSH
2. 备份 /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/config.xml
#cp config.xml config.xml.bak
3. 修改 /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/config.xml
#vi config.xml

<vmacore>里面的<ssl>区域中
添加以下文本
<handshakeTimeoutMs>120000</handshakeTimeoutMs>
<cipherList>ALL</cipherList>

4. 重启服务
/etc/init.d/rhttpproxy restart


=============================================
winxp下，viclient5.1以上版本无法连接到vCenter
vcenter连接解决方法：
1. 编辑文件 c:\programdata\vmware\vmware Virtual center\vpxd.cfg
2. 找到如下内容：
<ssl>
<useCompression>true</useCompression>
</ssl>

3. 修改为：
<ssl>
<cipherList>ALL</cipherList>
<useCompression>true</useCompression>
</ssl>
4. 重启vcenter服务

============================================

For the vCenter Server Appliance

• Connect to the vCenter Server Appliance via SSH. For more information, see Enable or Disable SSH Administrator Login on the VMware vCenter Server Appliance in the vCenter Server and Host Management Guide.

• Navigate to the directory:
  
  /etc/vmware-vpx/
  
  

• Backup the vpxd.cfg file. Do not skip this step.

• Open vpxd.cfg file in a plan text editor

• Add the <cipherList>ALL</cipherList> parameter between the <ssl>...</ssl> section of the configuration file, For example:
  
  <config>
  ...
  <vmacore>
  ...
  <ssl>
  ...
  <cipherList>ALL</cipherList>
  ...
  </ssl>
  ...
  </vmacore>
  ...
  </config>
  
  

• Save and close the vpxd.cfg file.

• Restart the vCenter Server service for the change to take effect. For more information, see Stopping, starting, or restarting vCenter Server Appliance services (2054085).
  
  

  
  

On the ESXi 5.5 host, modify the rhttpproxy service to reduce the implied security by allowing the host to communicate using weak cipher suites:
