Hi, I try to use virsh connect ESXi5.0 with ssl [root@zheng ~]# virsh -c esx://10.66.6.211/ Enter username for 10.66.6.211 [root]: Enter root's password for 10.66.6.211: error: internal error curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates (60) : Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates error: failed to connect to the hypervisor I create kew key singed by my CA certificate, still the same error. But i can use vsphere client and https://10.66.6.211/，; the new certs are ok. Here are my steps: 1, create a CA center.

[y/n]:y 1 out of 1 certificate requests certified, commit? [y/n]y Write out database with 1 new entries Data Base Updated 4, change the ESXi to maintance mode and change ssl keys on /etc/vmware/ssl. restart hostd server then quit the maintance mode. 5, test it with vsphere client and firefox. new ssl keys works well. 6,[root@zheng ~]# virsh -c esx://10.66.6.211 Enter username for 10.66.6.211 [root]: Enter root's password for 10.66.6.211: error: internal error curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates (60) : Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates error: failed to connect to the hypervisor So, i don't know if i have wrong steps or it's a bug? -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
