Hoping somebody can assist.
Seems that others have this issue as well.
Can successfully connect over the network, but not through an SSH tunnel.
Over the network, I get prompted to accept/ignore an SSL certificate. This does not happen when attempting to connect remotely (through an SSH tunnel).
Through the course of troubleshooting, I have port forwarded practically all TCP ports, starting w/ port 80, 443, & 902.
Through the SSH tunnel, via browser, I can successfully access https://127.0.0.1 (the VMware server), but the client software will not complete the connection, w/ error message: "...The client could not send a complete request to the server."
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Managed to figure this out myself, after investing way more time than I should have.

Within your SSH client, port forward using a local, loopback IP OTHER THAN 127.0.0.1 (like 127.0.0.2 for example).
Port forward 127.0.0.2:443 --> target IP:443
127.0.0.2:902 --> target IP:902
127.0.0.2:903 --> target IP:903
try updating host file on machine ur trying to access
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file:
127.0.0.1 <youresxserver>
It sees 127.0.0.1 just fine, but fails at login.
Thank you for trying.
Hi,
Few things you need to check
1.Check whether your client anti-virus protection blocking or not.Try to use different client and see if the issue persist.
2.If you are using 2003 or XP Client you need hot fixes,refer KB VMware KB: Search fails and Hardware Health and Health Status plug-ins are disabled in the vSphere C...
Disabled antivirus, didn't make a difference.
Thank you for the feedback.
We are using Windows 7. I've tried from a few different machines, w/ the same results.
