Unable to import SSL certificate from VIO

Hello folks,

So currently I am doing a deployment, where I need to import the SSL certificate from VIO into another server that validates it, I did the ssl certificate in the OMS as follows:

sudo viocli deployment cert-req-create


This is a lab so I need to self signed, that I think it worked, what I have not been able to do is to find where to specify the CN of the certificate and also my OMS is named localhost, so it might be causing it not to be accepted, I couldn't find any recommendation about it in the documentation.

In case some VMware folks look into this, all the certificates are issued with the Common Name pointing to the IP address of the OMS, not the hostname and this is causing the issue for me, since in the other application there is code to reject the Common Name when it doesn't match the hostname.

Now I was able to do a certificate myself and self sign it, but the viocli utility doesn't like it.

Any ideas ?
