vmware vsphere 5.5在windows xp和2003客户端连接报错的解决办法

vSphere Client and vSphere PowerCLI might fail to connect to vCenterServer 5.5, with a

handshakefailure. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2049143

• When installed on a Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 host machine,the vSphere Client

and vSpherePowerCLI might fail to connect to vCenter Server 5.5, with a handshake failure.

vSphere 5.5 usesthe Open SSL library, which, for security, is configured to accept only

connections thatuse strong cipher suites. On Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, the

vSphere Clientand vSphere PowerCLI do not use strong cipher suites to connect with vCenter

Server. Thisresults in the error No matching cipher suite on the server side, and ahandshake

failure on thevSphere Client or vSphere PowerCLI side

以上是原话，大致意思就是vSphere5.5采用开放的SSL库，其中安全配置为只接受强密码套件，而Windows XP和Windows Server 2003不支持强密码套件连接架构所以导致连接失败，然后根据连接给了一个补丁，和针对vcenter的修改方案。注意wmware提供的这个微软补丁如果是中文系统的话是无法安装的，大家可以到微软网站上去请求这个补丁，微软会回复一个邮件给你下载，这里我把传到网盘上供大家下载了，安装成功后如果你没有使用Vcenter的话就可以直接使用客户端连接服务器了，如果是Vcenter，根据官方的原话是还要修改一个vpxd.cfg的文件，修改内容如下。

<config>
    ...
    <vmacore>
        ...
       <ssl>
           ...
           <cipherList>ALL</cipherList>
        ... 
       </ssl> 
    ...
    </vmacore>
...
</config>
