How to get SSL Certificates installed on VMware vCenter Appliance 6.0

[rizzah]

Hiya,

I haveen strugling with getting SSL certificates installed for a couple of days now, it always seem to fail on the vpxd_servicecfg command.

I have followed tuts like : https://myvirtualife.net/2014/04/01/how-to-replace-default-vcsa-5-5-certificates-with-microsoft-ca-s...

There are more out there, but they are all simular to each other. I follow it to the letter, but all i get is:

vcenter:/ssl/vCenterSSO # /usr/sbin/vpxd_servicecfg certificate change chain.pem rui.key

VC_CFG_RESULT=650

The only thing i can emagine is that there is a difference in vcenter 5.5 and 6.0, but other then that i wouldnt know how to fix this.

Can anyone help?

Regards.

This could be a very time consuming thing , but I suggest you go through the linked KB in detail.
