I came across the above error under vSphere – ESX 4.0 running under workstation.
To fix it, add the following line to the /etc/vmware/config file in the VMware ESX Service Console:
” vmauthd.server.alwaysProxy=TRUE “

So this worked after several other fixes did not (or were already accounted for). However, I don’t really accept the fix without an explanation. What is /etc/vmware/config and how, where & when is it used?
Please.
Thank you
And where did you find the information?
Thanks
I am running ESX4i on a remote machine and using vsphere client to log in. Where do i change this when i log in from the client side with vsphere? I can’t seem to find it in the configuration.
Thanks in advance.
I run vsphere client remotely… and on the other end this particular fix has already been employed.. yet i have this issue?
I ran into the same problem and it was the same issue.
To fix it, add the following line to the /etc/vmware/config file in the VMware ESX Service Console:
vmauthd.server.alwaysProxy = “TRUE”
We had the same problem, it was an network error (the port 902 was closed by a firewall). The best thing to discard being that is telneting to that port:
telnet IPADDRESS 902
You should receive something like:
“220 VMware Authentication Daemon Version 1.10: SSL Required, ServerDaemonProtocol:SOAP, MKSDisplayProtocol:VNC , VMXARGS supported”
Seems Windows 7 was blocking my connection to one of the hosts and only on port 902… I just rebooted windows
