VirtualCenter 2.5 Web Access port

Hello,

I want to relay Virtual Center Web Access through an SSL-accelerator. So I need to be able to run VCWA without SSL, is that possible somehow?

I tried port 80 which is just redirecting to SSL of 443 (standard HTTPS).

Anyway of using webaccess against a standalone ESX 3i without the use of Virtual Center?

(we need to have both access to the machines console and settings, about the same as VCWA)

I had an hour of spare time yesterday so I had a look at this. I found a file at this location:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\proxy.xml

In this file there are a couple of entries like this:

Change the content of the tag called accessMode to "httpAndHttps" instead of "httpsWithRedirect"

Do this for the folders you would like both http and https access to. I did this to be able to use VC with an external SSL accelerator/offloader.
