Unable to connect to homepage from SIM

[Bart Korsten]

Hi,

I have SIM 5.1 installed and SE (seperate server). SIM detects all my Windows servers ok. But SIM does not correctly detects the VMware ESX server (3.0.1). When i run the Identify Systems from the options menu It detect it cannot use the homepage :

"The System Management Homepage is not supported on this system"

SIM does however display a green dot in the table view of these servers. I'm also unable to register the vmware server.

These are my protocol settings :

WBEM points to root user
SNMP points to r/w community name
SSH point to root user

I am able to access the homepage directly from the SIM server.

problem solved. I had a proxy server configured in IE on the CMS server. Disabling this proxy fixed the problem.
