Then clicked on the Invalid certifcate, copied to file, saved as. After the host came back online, I've used the webclient to confirm the cert includes the new host name (CN=server3): I've followed the steps you've outlined, so went into the host (using DCUI, not the web client), changed the hostname from localhost to server3, used Alt+F1 to get into the shell, logged in as root and regenrated certs, then rebooted. I've tested the above this morning and it still says the cert is invalid, although the error is a bit different, it's simply stating that it doesn't know the issuer and so cannot confirm the certificate, which makes sense of course.

I also missed a bit on the original post, you have to also install the 'root' VMware Installer cert into the local 'Trusted Root Authority' Then just access the url/host name using IE and then view/install the certificate. You should be able to verify the cert has been reset by checking, by checking the certificates section:.

The host might need to be rebooted for this change to take full effect, then enable SSH access: -Д¬onnected to the host using an SSH client, then change to the SSL cert folder:. You set the host name from the networking section:.

I have found this to work me without any issues. OpenSSL might work, but it not something I have tried as it is still from an untrusted authority so it will still be necessary to load the certs onto each local machine. The vCenter SSL is much more involved as there are machine certs for secure communication between the hosts and vCenter itself, but they at least provide a downloadable package that is very easy to install.

Is it absolutely neccessary to have vCenter for any SSL cert related stuff to work? Mentions vCenter yet again, so I'm thinking this will not work on my set up.

The replacement certificate reencrypts all host passwords and the database password by using the new certificate. Load Replacement Certificates into Memory The file is copied to the subdirectory on the vCenter Server system. The rui.pfx file is a concatenation of the systemвЂ™s certificate and private key, exported in the PFX format. If you choose to install self-signed certificates, you can create them using OpenSSL.

You must generate a certificate-signing request (CSR) for each system that requires a replacement certificate. To replace the default certificates with certificates signed by your own local CA, you must create a root CA.Д¬reate Certificate-Signing Requests for vCenter Server You can use OpenSSL to create certificate-signing requests (CSRs).

VMware products implement the OpenSSL libraries and toolkits to generate the default certificates that are created during installation process. 'Otherwise, you can install the existing certificate into the local PC's 'trusted root authority' - but will need to ensure the host name matches the url you access, the default SSL cert says 'localhost' 'ДЄnd I'm thinking it's the 'localhost' name used inside, but I actually have no idea what to do with it to force it into working.ДЄs for self-signed certs, the procedure here: I can download it fine (using Chrome) and even install it on the client machine, but not much happens afterwards ie. I was thinking along the lines of my own SSL cert generated using OpenSSL and root Certificate Authority (CA), although I have to say that the existing cert path seems like the least time consuming.assuming I can find a way to actually use it.
