One of my customers asked me if it is possible to change the download protocol for VMware Update Manager into http. Due to security regulations they are not allowed to have traffic over https on their server backbone.
To achieve this you will need to change the vci-integrity.xml file in the Update Manager directory.
The default url is: https://www.vmware.com/PatchManagementSystem/patchmanagement
When you change the https into http it works:
http://www.vmware.com/PatchManagementSystem/patchmanagement
