I've been unable to get the client plugin working in chrome or firefox despite following the guidance here and updating the vcenter installation:
Here is the error log after attempting to start a web session:

I found what appears to be an erroneous absolute path reference for a library used by the plugin binary:
$ ./vmware-csd
dyld: Library not loaded: /build/toolchain/mac32/openssl-1.0.1m/lib/libcrypto.1.0.1.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/VMware Client Integration Plug-in.app/Contents/Library/./lib/libssl.1.0.1.dylib
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
I manually corrected this error by creating the expected directory as a temp solution and got the plugin to run manually, it failed with a session error which makes sense given I wasn't calling it from the browser.
$ ./vmware-csd

This didn't change the anything for the above error log and the plugin still fails to properly load in the browser. Any thoughts on what to try next? I came across this post that mentions permission errors, but it only list the relevant Windows locations.
