We built a smart card solution for an Oracle web server that uses Java. Java reads the certs from the browser and passes the username to Oracle via a cookie. This works great when running on VMWare workstation. We converted it to ESXi to start a full testing cycle and the Java does not work. Best I can tell the username cookie is null. I can convert the machine BACK to workstation and it works. So it's not code. Everything else works as I can log in without a smart card manually entering the un/pw and the application works fine. I'm struggling to understand the problem with the converter. To start with, why isn't it an exact clone? It comes over with DCHP instead of static IP addresses. I can fix all of that, but I don't think I should have to. It also "Remembers" Net adaptors that aren't there anymore and asks me about them. I'm sure that somewhere in this process VMware is changing the server setup and breaking the application. But I can't find it for the life of me. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Robbin
I had posted this in vcenter community, but I think it is better suited to the converter community.
