VMware GSX Server Administration Guide
Enabling and Disabling SSL for Remote Sessions
You enable and disable SSL for VMware Virtual Machine Console connections in the
console or the management interface. You enable SSL for VMware Management
Interface connections in the management interface. By default, SSL is enabled for all
remote connections.
Remember that the certificates used in these secure sessions are not signed by a
trusted certificate authority; therefore they do not provide authentication. If you
intend to use encrypted remote connections externally, you should consider
purchasing a certificate from a trusted certificate authority.
To change SSL settings for console and management interface connections from the
VMware Management Interface, see Securing Remote Connections with SSL on
page 144.
To change the SSL setting for console connections from the VMware Virtual Machine
Console, see Enabling SSL for VMware Virtual Machine Console Connections on
page 157.
