"certificate is required" or terrible exception

Hello everybody!

Sorry for my english. Smiley Wink I get stuck with error while running .NET sample "CIMInfo" - "A certificate is required to complete client authentication" at this line code:

"IWSManEnumerator enumeratorFans = (IWSManEnumerator)

session.Enumerate(urlString,

null, null, wsman.SessionFlagUseBasic() &

wsman.SessionFlagCredUsernamePassword() & wsman.SessionFlagSkipCACheck() & wsman.SessionFlagSkipCNCheck());"

How to install this certificate? I try to install via IE over https://my-esx, but it doesn't installing at "Trusted Root certification Authorities". Any tricks?

Thanks in advance.

You can refer to the section "Obtaining Server Certificates" under Appendix A on page 24 in vSphere Developer's Setup guide for information on obtaining the certificates.

Thanks for yours answers.

I do not want to use certitificate to login, password or username, i want use a "ticket" to connect CIMOM (wsman) repository via C#, like HardwareStatus plugin for VMware VSphere Client. I don't understand why this exception raised up every time when i try use the samples CIMInfo, when i use a sample in Java - output were like this "Couldnt find a path to valid certificate"

Anybody can help me?

P.S: I can't use a http, i can only use https protocol.
