I'm having trouble with VMWare Infrastructure and SSL certificates. Whenever I try to use my own certs on the server, the client fails to connect.
Error Message
VMWare Infrastructure Client could not establish a connection with server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Details: The client could not validate the server's SSL certificate.
Specs
OpenSSL 0.9.7a
ESX 3.5
VMWare Infrastructure Client 2.5 / Windows XP Pro SP 3

Not sure if these last two items are an issue, since VMWare Infrastructure Client can connect anyway when default certs are used.
Main Question
The cert and key are valid, and they are named rui.crt and rui.key. There shouldn't be any configuration to be done.
Why doesn't this setup work?
