Thanks Norton but the links you suggested are referring to a different problem.
Now I've regenerated the certificates, and following the install guide, When keytool asks for your first and last name, I've typed the fully-qualified domain name associated with the IP address you want to use for the console proxy service.
Doing it, from the log files is disappeared the line
The host name used for the connection does not match the subject name on the host certificate.
but the problem is not solved, the log always shows:

Please, can anybody that is using vcloud 5.1 with self signed certificates, check if in the log file is present the lines

The log file I'm referring is located in C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\2\vmware-Administrator
