Symantec Critical System Protection (SCSP) Collector - Sync Error (rfs_config)

    Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to use SCSP to perform HIDS on my ESXi (5.5) systems. I've deployed a SCSP Collector on a dedicated VM and added the host to monitor:

    # ./rfs_config.sh -addHost -server=<MY_SERVER> -username=<MY_USER> -password=<MY_PWD>
    Using default protocol https for the host <MY_SERVER>. 
    Using default port 443 for protocol https for the host <MY_SERVER>. 
    
     Adding ESXi Host Information . Please wait...
    New entry added successfully
    
    Configuring ESXi Host <MY_SERVER> for Syslog forwarding. Please wait...
    ESXi Host <MY_SERVER> is added.

    At the end of setup, I've applied the vSphere ESXi Detection Policy from the SCSP Console. But when I try to run the first syncronization, I always get the following error:

    # ./rfs_config.sh -runrfs
    Starting Synchronization with ESXi Host - <MY_SERVER>
    mkdir /opt/Symantec/sdcssagent/IDS/bin/esxi_fim/data/<MY_SERVER>
    Connecting to ESXi Host <MY_SERVER>
    
    ...
    
    GET https://<MY_SERVER>/host/ssh_host_rsa_key unsuccessful : 405 Method Not Allowed
    GET https://<MY_SERVER>/host/ssl_key unsuccessful : 405 Method Not Allowed
    GET https://<MY_SERVER>/host/ssh_host_dsa_key unsuccessful : 405 Method Not Allowed
    ...
    
    # ./rfs_config.sh -runrfs
    Starting Synchronization with ESXi Host - <MY_SERVER> 
    ESXi Detection Policy not enabled. ESXi Host <MY_SERVER> is already synced once. Not further synchronization for <MY_SERVER> 

    No data is sent to my SCSP Console, even if the collector is recognised as enabled. NOTE: I registered the ESXi host with administrator credentials (<MY_USER>, <MY_PWD>).

    Why isn't the ESXi Detection Policy not enabled?  Why cannot encryption keys be retrieved? 

    Thank you in advance.
