Aaron, I desperately need your input here...I've followed all your steps to get the login screen for VI Client on my Kubuntu 9.1 (winxp as the OS) 32 bit and .Net2.0. Also modded the proxy.xml and put in http:// in the server part of the VI Client login screen along with root and password.
I then get the 'load inventory/form etc..' in the background window which also shows the ESX3.5 server name. But at the end of loading, I get error

VM Infrastructure Client could not establish a connection with the server "ESX IP".
Details: The server took too long to respond.

uname -a : Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Any help highly appreciated man!
Pls let me know if you need any other info from me to sort this out.

Please not that my Kubuntu machiine has (XP & 2003 OSs) and I can use the VI Client in them to login without any issues..

Thanks a million!

Regards,
Bharath

When it comes to Linux, it seems everyone has a problem with ssl certificates. Why is that? Or perhaps I only read the posts of people still learning, just like me.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the note. I should have some time later this week to work on
this and I'll let you know if I make any progress.

Thanks,
Aaron

I'm fairly confident that the issue is that the wine .dlls aren't smart enough to send out an error on the self-signed HTTPS certificate.

I've spent a couple of hours trying to find something to import the generated keys into Wine's registry, but haven't managed it yet. I'm not prepared to buy a certificate, either.

Does anyone know if its possible to do the import?

No, unfortunately it had no affect. When I get some time in the next week
or so, I'll see if I can muster up some of my programming skills to help fix
the issue. But I'm not a programming whiz, so don't count on anything!

Hey Dan,

I tried the most recent patch with no luck. I'm still getting the same errors. Since it was late, to be 100% sure, I'm going to apply the patch and recompile one more time. And if I get better results the second time around, I'll let you know.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the note. I did install dotnet20 via winetricks before installing the VIC. However, I wasn't aware of the wine patch you referenced. I'll give that a shot today and I'll repost with my results on winehq (I see you've already added a comment there too).

Thanks again!
Aaron
