VMware 6.5 client integration plug-in error still occurs after installation

Using Firefox web browser, I still encounter the plug-in error after installing the plug-in.  Please let me know how I can fix this. Thank you!

Sorry, I've somehow missed your question in your first discussion.

The issue with the plugin is most likely caused by an untrusted self signed certificate.

What should work is to either download, and install the certificates from the vCSA (https://<your-vcsa-fqdn>/) , or to trust the certificate manually. For the manual trust, open https://vmware-plugin:8094/ (the installation should have created a vmware-plugin entry in the local hosts file), click Advanced, and then add the certificate as an exception.

After closing, and opening the browser, the plugin should work.

What is the error you are talking about? Can you share the screenshot of the same?

Unable to provide a screenshot, but on the bottom of the firefox browser, I see 'download enhanced authentication plug-in'.

I located the hosts file and tried to added the exception. It worked, thanks.
