The hosting infrastructure could not be reached at the specified address

Hi,

I am trying to setup a text environment so I can compare XenDesktop vith VMware View. XenDesktop will be running off the current Virtual infrastructure that we are using running vSphere 4

I Desktop Delivery Controller I am trying to create a new Desktop Group but it cannot access the virtual Center. There have been numerous posts about this and have tried them all where applicable but they all reference earlier versions of VMware:

http://www.xenappblog.com/2009/citrix-xendesktop-3-0-fp1-poc-hosted-on-vmware-esx-3-5/

I have edited the hosts file and tried https://vmware/sdk and also edit the proxy.xml file to allow httpandhttps and rebooted the virtual center server.

Have also imported the rui.crt onto the XenDesktop Server that has DDC installed to no avail.

Just wondering if anyone else has come across this and if there is a workaround as its stopping me from progressing right now??

Many Thanks,

Paul.

Can you browse to the url from the DDC?

Hi Linjo,

I cannot - see attached screenshot. From reading the posts above I am not sure whether I should be able to as its for API use?

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi have the same problem here.....did you find what the issue was?

[butlpau]

Nope, not yet. Its been put on the back burner for now. Have you tried the suggestions in the links above? Unfortunately none of them worked for me...

I have tried all of the suggestions and have the same result. I can however browse to the VC server by IP, just not by https://vmware/sdk

[Linjo]

Then its a name resolution issue, check your DNS and hosts files.

I have checked them. Once I add /sdk I can no longer access the links with the browser. The IP and simply https://vmware work. Am I missing a step that sets up sdk?

Finally got it to work. It seems the part that was missing after importing the certificate and editing the hosts file was to edit the proxy.xml file (Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\proxy.xml on VC server) with WordPad, notepad gave me wordwrap issues and I didn't edit the right section of code the first time. Search for the /sdk section using find and make sure the section looks like this

I then entered the hosting infrastructure address as "http://serverIP/sdk" and was able to authenticate to my virtual center.

Did this require a reboot to take effect?
