After setting up Vcloud Automation Center 6.0.1 for one of my clients, I was able to access the Vcac portal using my Firefox browser with no problem what so ever. After I have finished the configuration of vCAC and turned the setup to the customer to try it from his machine, he did not have Firefox and their corporate policy force them to use IE8 which is by the way a supported vCAC browser and I was confident it should work there with no problem. The surprise was as soon he opened up the vCAC page in his IE8, he got the following error:

‘Warning: The Current Browser that you are using is not supported for use with vCAC 6.0′

This has got me in doubt if I have conveyed the wrong message to the customer of IE8 being a supported browser, so I went right a head and checked vCAC 6.0.1 supported browsers list which can be found on page 14 at: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcloud-automation-center-60-support-matrix.pdf

The list of supported vCloud Automation Centers as extracted from the document is copied below:
