Expected Behavior

Use Cape V2 with Vsphere, the host and analysis VM on Vsphere

Current Behavior

Hello,

I'm writing about an issue I encountered while setting up Cape for usage with vSphere to manage analysis VMs and the host VM. Initially, I successfully tested Cape with VirtualBox, but later modified my configuration file to use vSphere without SSL certification (using a homemade certificate).

I've verified that my configuration is correct by separately testing the vSphere API with curl to ensure the parameters I provided were accurate. However, currently Cape is unable to connect to vSphere. The error message I received was:

[root] CRITICAL: CuckooCriticalError: Couldn't connect to vSphere host: [Errno 110] Connection timed out

To further diagnose the issue, I added a traceback to identify the source of the error, and encountered the following:

[modules.machinery.vsphere] WARNING: Turning off SSL certificate verification!

I'm confident that the parameters I've provided to connect to the vSphere host are correct. Additionally, my VM hosting CAPEv2 is capable of pinging vSphere and using the API with Curl.
