Access MOL downloads from Linux Desktop

[Billz66]

Has anyone been able to access MOL and download new software using a linux based Operating system?

I am deploying some cloud based servers and would prefer to get the Ova files downloaded directly to the Cloud location.

Don't really want to deploy a windows client there due to the licensing issue.

Just want to get the ova's , convert them to ovf and then use the vcloud web interface to upload them.

Seems like MOL software downloads page only works with IE .
Have tried playonlinux and i can get to the page but its reporting a http error.



If I never did anything I'd never done before , I'd never do anything.....

as long as i know MOL and AMC are made for IE. This is what it says at the button of the MOL login page

WARNING - For the best user experience some areas of this website require the use of Internet Explorer 8. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I only use IE for Mitel suff, for all the rest I use firefox, which now works for MCD6.0 SP1

Yaah ,I saw that ..... its hard to make IE work in linux :-(

I ended up getting firefox to access MOL and download the Ova , user tar xvf to extract the contents , can access vcloud from firefox.
can get console to pop from already deployed appliance , just cant get the browse popup to show in vlocud to select the ovf .

why the conversion to .ovf if you don't mind me asking?

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

vCloud only supports ovf format files not ova
