Re: [libvirt-users] error: unable to connect to libvirtd at 'a.b.c.d': Connection refused

Thank you Matthias.
I addressed the issues that you mentioned below.
Now i have my libvirt built for esx.
I followed the instructions http://libvirt.org/remote.html#Remote_TLS_CA to
generate the CA key/cert and client key/cert.
However, the connect still fails, with "error: internal error
curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Peer certificate cannot be
authenticated with known CA certificates (60)".
This has nothing to to with the libvirtd certificates. The ESX
support doesn't involve libvirtd.
This error should tell you that libcurl can't verify the ESX server
side SSL certificate used for HTTPS. The simple solution is to disable
the server certificate verification
virsh -c esx://a.b.c.d/?no_verify=1
See http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-December/msg00757.html
for some details. I'll add a FAQ section to
http://www.libvirt.org/drvesx.html about this basic connection issues,
because several people seem to hit this problems when trying to use
libvirt with ESX.
