Certificates SSL vCenter 6

Hi, I'm new to the forum.

Is it possible to use an alternative name of the object for VMware vCenter 6 device without FULL domain name? I want to create a self-signed certificate, personalized CA!

EX:

vcenter01. VMware.com

vcenter01

If possible, can someone point me in the right direction?

Kind regards

Edvin

Nope, with vCenter 6 you will not be able to use another name.

Replace process will fail if you try to replace the SSL certificate what multiple name

  • CA-signed SSL certificates on vCenter 5.1 installation (server or device)

    I recently updated my 5.0 to 5.1 ESXi ESXi hosts and they all kept CA-signed SSL certificates that I installed previously. I did a new install of vCenter 5.1 server where the box even ran SSO, inventory, vCenter Server and Manager Update Services. After installing, everything worked perfectly except that none of the vCenter services used my CA-signed SSL certificate - only 5.1 ESXi hosts had these.

    So, I followed the instructions in replacing default vCenter 5.1 and ESXi certificates PDF found at http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/10318. The document is terrible. For example, page 10 lists the locations by three default certificates SSL on Windows 2008. None of these paths are correct. The first a typo of extra space between "Program" and "Data" and the other two say "Program Files" when they should have been "ProgramData". This is just the beginning of the problems.

    If you follow the instructions to the letter, you'll break vCenter. I got frustrated and thought I'd give the vCenter 5.1 device a shot. With regard to the Certificates SSL signed by CA, it was worse. The vCenter 5.1 device can even automatically generate a new SSL certificate if you change the host name (turn on generation auto-certificat, change of hostname and restart). It gives an error 653 during the boot process and keeps the original of the certificate. Even bother trying the steps on page 18 of the above-mentioned guide - you will get just the same mistake 653.

    It seems to me that VMware did not all tests around the CA-signed SSL certificate on vCenter 5.1 installation. It's amazing to me that the installation of the SSL certificate is so tedious for ESXi and vCenter when vShield Manager 5.1 has a very simple process that works well (and is similar to the installation procedure for Certificate SSL on the DRAC, ASR, breeding various firewalls, etc.).

    I did a lot of research on Google and found various articles on the installation of the SSL certificate, but most were based on GA pre - 5.1 products. If you have any installation of certificates SSL CA-signed success with vCenter Server or device 5.1 GA, let me know how you got around some of these issues. Please indicate if your vCenter Server or device will run on a 5.1 GA ESXi host as well. Please do not answer about vCenter 5.0 - I had no problem with SSL certificates (other than it was more painful to be).

    Thanks in advance,

    Nate

    Finally I managed to install giving him to 127.0.0.1 instead of the period of INVESTIGATION, accessible from the outside of the vCenter server, it's very well in my case the vCenter and VUM server are on the same VM but its not exactly ideal for deployments of more large.

  • certificate installation vcenter 5.5

    Hello

    It is a desperate for help call, I'm ready to hang myself up (figure of speech)

    After the upgrade of all my components to the latest version (from 5.0) 5.x vsphere, I installed the view security server en as last connection server.

    The view connection server told me the fact that I install certificates.

    I have been follwing all the steps, detail after detail of this KB:

    Application CA signed certificates SSL with vSphere 5.x (2034833)

    I configure CA AD integrated into the AD, made the necessary changes to the usage of the key model, made the CERT, checked the CERT, followed the steps to register certificates in the SSO

    Al fine, everything is ok...

    I'm to the point of replace the vCenter Server 5.x certificates.:

    I did wat is requested and it won't go to the place where I am asked to connect to the CROWD. (AND I discovered that I myself locked out vcenter)

    So without reloading the sslcert in the CROWD, the isregtools is not complete with the code:

    0

    0

    ... it ends by

    9

    9

    I stopped here to assure you that I do not encrypt my db with the bad cert.

    I edited the VPX ACCESS table and added the local credentials, nothing works...

    How should I proceed?

    I have to get everything running by Tuesday or we can't use our rooms pc on Faculty :/

    Looks desperate

    Hi John,.

    to get the file .pem working with SSL tool you must include the full certificate chain in this container...

    -Certificates in PEM container must be in x 509 (BASE64)... NOT in DER

    -When you open it in the text editor, they should start by: - BEGIN CERTIFICATE - ends: - END CERTIFICATE -

    -If you use CA subordinate to issue certificates within your domain, you must include the certificate in PEM file!

    -All certificates in. PEM file must be in reverse order so that when you open the file must first be Server vCenter, second Sub and last Root CA certificate

    You can create containers PEM with the copy command and maintain the exact order:

    copy/b rui.crt + SubCA64.cer + RootCA.cer chain.pem

    After that you will have created PEM file open and check certificates order, vCenter first, second Sub and root down.

    Avoid putting a few extra blank lines between the certificates, there should be no space before and after any certificate.

    Once you have chain.pem and the private key of the certificate vCenter (rui.crt), you can start with SSL tool.

  • What happens IF we replace the default certificates for vCenter 5.1?

    Does anyone have specific vmware documents indicating what happens IF we replace the default certificates for vCenter 5.1 SSO, inventory, Web Client etc... services?

    I found this below at page 19 of https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vCenter/VMware-vCenter-Server-Single-Sign-On.pdf

    Certificates update

    When you install the vCenter Single Sign-On, each component that registers with it - including

    vCenter Single Sign-On himself - uses SSL to communicate between components and saved solutions.

    By default, SSL certificates are generated automatically by VMware installation and upgrade process

    and are sufficient for the operational security for most VMware customers.

    Some clients prefer to use their own self-signed or purchased SSL certificates. A tool has been developed to

    help the insertion of these certificates after vCenter Server installation. Because of the additional knowledge

    required to create and install self-signed certificates, we recommend that you review the following knowledge of VMware

    basis of articles:

    "Deployment and using the tool to automate SSL certificate.

    (VMware 2041600 knowledge base article)

    "Generation of certificates for use with the VMware Certificate SSL automation tool"

    (VMware 2044696 knowledge base article)

    In 10 years your vCenter starts (because of expiry of the certificate).

    Your users will see pesky warnings of SSL certificate when connecting components.

    Apart from that all traffic is always secure and encrypted with certificates by default, you have simply a chain of trust for them.

  • Setting up Certification Authority (CA) signed certificates for vCenter Server Appliance 6

    Hi all

    Recently, I managed to migrate to vCenter Server Appliance 6. 5.5, there was a large KB (2057223) on Configuring Certificate Authority (CA) signed certificates for vCenter Server Appliance. I tried to do as it says configure the certificate for v6.

    Unfortunately, I understand that some services such as lighttpd are changed in version.

    Can anyone provide a new instruction for the v6?

    Thank you. That helped me to see the idea. However, the explanation in the pages that was not complete. I had to search for more.

  • Client certificate SSL V3.0

    How can I connect to a web service that requires client certificates SSL V3.0 using CFMX?

    I am trying to use a client certificate to connect via CFHTTP a secure Web site and I'm getting a "403.7 - Forbidden: certificate customer required" error. I have correctly installed the Web site cert by following the instructions here:
    http://www.TalkingTree.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry & entry = 25AA75A4 - 45a 6-2844 - 7CA3EECD842D B576

    When I access the secure site using IE, I am asked to use the installed client certificate, and then I'm able to view the content secure without no 403 errors.

    After completing the research question, I read in this post that CFMX7.01 does not support the SSL V3.0 protocol:
    http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4 / messageid:229870 / step: 0

    Did someone using client certificates SSL V3.0 with CFMX7.01? Is it a question of Adobe or java problem? Are there alternatives?

  • Adding Exception Certificate SSL in Firefox 4

    I recently installed Firefox 4 beta 11 and now can't access some Web pages provided by my University that use SSL encryption.

    The error message I get (in a pop-up box) is:

    evasys. Urz.Uni-halle.de uses an invalid security certificate.

    The certificate is not approved, because no sender string has been provided.

    (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

    It has been a known issue that somehow Firefox does not handle the issuer of the certificate chain correctly (this is what the it Department) and the solution so far was to add an exception for this site in Firefox 3.x.x

    It would be nice for me for Firefox 4, too, but I can't find a way to add this exception. As soon as I reject the error message box by clicking 'OK' nothing happens, don't "this connection is not approved" - page (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/This%20connection%20is%20untrusted#w_certificates-and-identification) is open or anything equivalent.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Nothing has changed about adding exceptions in Firefox 4 AFAIK.

    If you can not add an exception, but get a pop-up with the error message, you can go the pref browser.xul.error_pages.enabled on the topic: config page and make sure that the value is set to true (the default).

    You can retrieve the certificate and the control that has issued the certificate.

    • Click on the link at the bottom of the error page: "I understand the risks".

    Let Firefox recover the certificate: "Add Exception"-> "get certificate".

    • Click on the "view..." button. "to inspect the certificate and the Coachman, who is the sender.

    Only leave the brand in the box at the bottom to "permanently store this exception' If you trust this certificate.

    • Click on "Confirm the Security Exception" to enter the site if you still want to go to this site.
  • Problem importing Certificate SSL in gateway desktop remotely

    Hello

    Windows 2008 R2

    Our SSL wildcard (by Go Daddy) certificate has expired, I have renewed, went into IIS, created a CSR, apply the CSR, downloaded the version of IIS of GoDaddy. completed CSR in IIS, applied the intermediate certificate, went into MMC and import the certificate into the local computer store.

    BUT... I have problems with the gateway Office remotely.  I can't import the cert generic it.  I'm in management gateway > properties > SSL certificate and take the option "Select an existing certificate" I see the generic cert, I select it and click on apply, it flashes away and then apply it is grayed out, so I click on OK, but says still no cert... status says I need a cert.  So it's like it is not recognizing the cert or is the kind of evil?

    Thought he could be authority, so I tried it with several different admin on the global domain IDs.

    I also went through MMC and imported the cert in the location of the remote office certificates, but who don't seem to have any impact.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Go Daddy suggests cert regeneration, but I don't want to do it again unless I need to.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    I have a Cisco RV082 session before my exchange server. I have the port forwarding for 443 to my exchange server.

    My ActiveSync (iPhone, Droid) users get a connection error when HTTPS is enabled on the Firewall tab using the MS Connection Tester, it appears that the ActiveSync connection picks up the cert of Cisco, installed on the RV082 and not the cert I on the Exchange Server.

    If I turn off HTTPS then it all works.

    That would be fine except that I seem to need HTTPS to my VPN connection enabled to work.

    Help!

    I saw this question on RV0xx V3 devices. The devices are built with more security, but the device will always meet the demands of SSL certificates and not transfer the request even if the port forward is activated. Even when the port which is transferred 443 is not the router will always respond with its own SSL certificate. If you experience this kind of configuration problems. Please if you do not need ensure the management to distance, SSL VPN, or secure disable management LAN HTTPS under the firewall settings.

  • Problems installing certificates SSL on a RV325

    IM pretty new to this router interface and I need help to install my external certificates on my RV32x router.

    I created my CSR, it has provided to the authority of SSL.  Both my web certificate (X.509) and my intermediate CA was provided to me.   The router's request. PEM format certs, so I made sure that the format of certificates followed lines of anchor text (BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE).

    No matter what I do, any order, format, the combination of keys (X.509 and CA) intermediate - and I went so far as to reissue the certificates and start from the beginning.  I've recreated the CSR, had the power of SSL to send me new keys and tried again the steps (in case I missed something, Miss a step, or SOMETHING...). I even went out to HQ and got another case here, there was a problem there.

    I got errors where it is said that the "key Certification is not valid." "" Check the public key for the date and time... ", etc.  All seem like mistakes that don't relate to the action, I show.

    Someone at - he had that same experience and found a way through it?   I thought I was pretty knowledgeable in this area, but I'm guessing me!  :)  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   It shouldn't really be this difficult!

    Hi Scott,.

    Could you try it by following these steps:

    Before you measures make sure that you have a backup of your original file

    1. open ciscorouter.pem with Notepad + or PSpad.

    2. you can find there is a private key and three certificates in the file.

    3 copy the private key and the first certificate include the begin/end message.

    -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

    .

    .

    .

    -----END PRIVATE KEY-----

    -BEGIN CERTIFICATE-

    .

    .

    .

    -CERTIFICATE OF END-

    4. Paste the content in step 3 to a new file named Cer_plus_private.pem.

    5. make sure that there is two newlines in the end, then save it. [This is the workaround for]

    This problem].

    6 copy the certificate to the second and the third certificate include the begin/end message.

    -BEGIN CERTIFICATE-

    .

    .

    .

    -CERTIFICATE OF END-

    -BEGIN CERTIFICATE-

    .

    .

    .

    -CERTIFICATE OF END-

    7 paste the content in step 6 to a new file named CA.pem and save it.

    8 import CA.pem and Cer_plus_private.pem in RV32x.--> success.

  • Import a certificate SSL on SG500X

Because the import option does not allow the import of the cer file, I open with a text editor and copied the cert, including start and end markers, when I submit, in it I get the error: SSL could not import the certificate - conversion of entry to the certificate failed.
