Hi,
I have made a bit of a school boy error!! I was editing the proxy.xml file to try and get XenDesktop 5 working with the SDK and i edited the wrong lines on the proxy.xml file. Unfortunatly i changed all the <accessmode> lines to httpAndHttps and now i cannot manage my ESX 4.1 host. I was trying to implement the settings in the following link: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX125578 particulary the following settings:
<e id=”1”>
<_type>vim.ProxyService.NamedPipeServiceSpec</_type>
<accessMode>httpsWithRedirect</accessMode>
<pipeName>/var/run/vmware/proxy-sdk</pipeName>
<serverNamespace>/sdk</serverNamespace>
</e>
…
It should look like this
...
<e id=”1”>
<_type>vim.ProxyService.NamedPipeServiceSpec</_type>
<accessMode>httpAndHttps</accessMode>
<pipeName>/var/run/vmware/proxy-sdk</pipeName>
<serverNamespace>/sdk</serverNamespace>
</e>
At this moment in time my proxy.xml looks like:
id="7">
<_type>vim.ProxyService.LocalServiceSpec</_type>
<accessMode>httpAndHttps</accessMode>
<port>8308</port>
<serverNamespace>/ui</serverNamespace>
</e>
<e id="8">
<_type>vim.ProxyService.LocalServiceSpec</_type>
<accessMode>httpAndHttps</accessMode>
<port>8089</port>
<serverNamespace>/vpxa</serverNamespace>
</e>
<ConfigRoot>
<EndpointList>
<_length>10</_length>
<_type>vim.ProxyService.EndpointSpec[]</_type>
<e id="0">
<_type>vim.ProxyService.LocalServiceSpec</_type>
<accessMode>httpAndHttps</accessMode>
<port>8309</port>
<serverNamespace>/</serverNamespace>
</e>
<e id="1">
<_type>vim.ProxyService.LocalServiceSpec</_type>
<accessMode>httpAndHttps</accessMode>
<port>8309</port>
<serverNamespace>/client/clients.xml</serverNamespace>
</e>
<e id="2">
<_type>vim.ProxyService.LocalServiceSpec</_type>
<accessMode>httpAndHttps</accessMode>
<port>12001</port>
<serverNamespace>/ha-nfc</serverNamespace>
</e>
<e id="3">
<_type>vim.ProxyService.NamedPipeServiceSpec</_type>
<accessMode>httpAndHttps</accessMode>
<pipeName>/var/run/vmware/proxy-mob</pipeName>
<serverNamespace>/mob</serverNamespace>
</e>

Any help is much appreciated. Luckily its only my test box but as it is a test box i dont have a backup or anything.
Problem resolved. I managed to find a few examples on the internet and vmware documentation and managed to get it back to its default state. I have learnt my lesson to tread carefully with the proxy.xml file
can you please share how you fixed it? I am having the same problem
