How to install SSL certificates on ESXi 4.1 hosts?

I am in a DoD environment and need to install SSL certificates for each of our ESXi hosts.  I may have missed it, but the only one of the official instructions, I can find are for vCenter (Windows).  These must be installed on the current host.

I have the two Base64 as the pkcs7 (p7b) formats, but prefer to use the pkcs7, since it covers the complete certificate chain (which is important, because DoD case are not part of the standard certificate store).

Instructions/advice would be much appreciated!

Hello

Take a look at page 147:

  • How to install a certificate ssl on my site of muse?

    I just bought an SSL certificate to my hosting service, blue host, for a site that I built in Muse.  My site is http://lumenstrong.com it's still a work in progress, but you can see that the https url does not read, nor turns 'green' when you go there.  At first, when I bought the blue host SSL, I felt that I had nothing to do and that the 'SSL' would be an automatic addition.  I've learned since I need to "activate" my Muse for SSL site. 

    So, now I would like to know if there is someone who can direct me to how I activate or install the SSL certificate in my site.

    Thank you very much!

    Nothing to do with the Muse. You should check the configuration of your web hosting plan. Probably a simple checkbox on the configuration of your site somewhere.

    Hello

    a good tool (standard of your JDK/JRE) is keytool.

    Search in your JRE/JDK for keytool.

    Either Linux of Windows open a command window.

    Set with the keytool utility executable directory in your path (syntax differs whether you use Windows or Linux).

    Locate the desired keystore. Good practice is to use two stores: one for the certificates of TRUST and ONE for the keys. If you use the cacerts file. Right?

    keytool-import - keystore cacerts-alias - file

    keytool-import - keystore cacerts-alias - file

    keytool-import - keystore cacerts-alias - file

    When asked do trust enter Yes.

    Choose right alias for three of them. They have only local meanign (for you). Aliases don't have <> around them :)

    View the contents of the cacerts file: keytool-list - keystore cacerts

    That's all.

  • See 4.5 Security server problems since installing SSL certificate

    I'm having some very strange problems with my view view connection Server 4.5 (front and back) running. I hope someone could shed some light on the problem, because I have tried everything I know to do this job properly.

    Before installing a certificate self-signed server of external connection again, I was running the default VMware certificate. Everything worked very well in this configuration. I installed a new self-signed certificate and now I'm having intermittent problems, the connection to the server:

    1. in the connection from a windows machine I CAN reach the site URL/HTTP to download the client from the view. Once I run the client to view I got the following error: failed connection to connect to the server view. Network error.

    2. I tried to connect via the IP address of the server, ensure that the external URL is correct (everything worked fine before the installation of the SSL certificate).

    3. completely removed security server and reinstalled, restart the services etc. Still not connect on some machines. Connecting from a Wyse compatible iPad still works, never a problem.

    4. If I connect the VPN of the company on the machine that does not work, then launches the Client to view and connect everything works as it should. When I disconnect the VPN and try to connect again, I can connect very well! So I need to connect to the VPN to connect to browse... its really weird. I checked DNS etc and everything is identical with the default certificate. I did so that machines that have problems approve the certificate and I also followed the Cisco ASA firewall logs, I do not see happneing anything different between periods of work and does not.

    Someone at - he never lived something along these lines or can think of anything I can try?

    Thank you!

    I came across this same thing.  The conflict is between the customer to view and your new self-signed SSL certificate.  More precisely the thing causing the problem is the version of the wininet.dll file provided with IE8.  The wininet.dll file provided with IE8 causes some kind of conflict with the customer view 4.5 (if using other SSL certificate that the server generated one) and will not allow the client to view 4.5 software to connect to your server security.  I reported this to VMware (2 weeks ago) so that they should be aware of the problem.

    If you remove your new SSL certificate and return to the one created by the display server then everything works perfectly again.  If you are using a machine with IE6 or IE7 XP remove IE8, it also works very well.  I tried taking the file wininet.dll from XP SP3 IE6 machine and restore this file after installing IE8 and everything seemed to work ok, but probably not the best solution.

    Bottom line is until VMware resolves the conflict with their client to view, you may not use any SSL certificate (other than that of the server is) If you are going to connect to windows machines running IE8 or newer.

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to install a certificate from browser OTA

    Anyone know if it is possible to install a certificate from browser (for authentication) OTA?

    I know that if the certificate is installed in internet explore, we can use the Desktop Manager to synchronize with the device certificates. But unfortunately most of our users have not installed the Desktop Manager.

    First of all, I was thinking about policies to push the certificate on the device, but our admin BB told me that you can

    not set policies by user (one certificate per user).

    I would be nice if it was possible to send the user a link http (email), so that it can launch the browser and download the certificate. Just like in ie or firefox.

    Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • How to install the ssl certificate in windows server 2008?

    Hello

    Can someone give me the steps to install the SSL certificate on my application hosted on windows server 2008 R2?

    Hello

    Although technet.microsoft.com should be the best forum for the problems of server below is a guide on how to install an SSL certificate.

    It will be useful.

    To install your newly acquired in IIS 7 SSL certificate, first copy the file somewhere on the server and then follow these instructions:

    1. Click on the start menu, go to administrativetools and click on Manager of Services Internet (IIS).
    2. Click the server name in the links on the left column. Double-click server certificates.

    3. In the Actions column to the right, click Complète Certificate Request...

    4. Click on the button with the three points, and then select the server certificate that you received from the certificate authority. If the certificate does not have a .cer file extension, select this option to display all types. Enter a friendly name that you can keep track of certificate on this server. Click OK.

    5. If successful, you will see your newly installed in the list certificate. If you receive an error indicating that the request or the private key is not found, make sure that you use the correct certificate and you install it on the same server that you generated the CSR on. If you are sure these two things, you just create a new certificate and reissue or replace the certificate. If you have problems with this, contact your certification authority.

    Bind the certificate to a Web site

    1. In the column of links on the left, expand the sites folder, and click the Web site that you want to bind the certificate to click links... in the right column.

    2. Click the Add... button.

    3. Change the Type to https , and then select the SSL certificate that you just installed. Click OK.

    4. You will now see the listed link for port 443. Click close.

    Install all the intermediate certificates

    Most of the SSL providers issue certificates of server out of an intermediate certificate so you will need to install the intermediate certificate on the server as well or your visitors will receive a certificate error not approved. You can install each intermediate certificate (sometimes there are more than one) by following these instructions:

    1. Download the intermediate certificate in a folder on the server.
    2. Double-click the certificate to open the certificate information.
    3. At the bottom of the general tab, click the install Certificate button to start the Certificate Import Wizard. Click Next.

    4. Select place all certificates in the following store , and then click Browse.

    5. Select the Show physical stores checkbox, then expand the Intermediate certificate authorities folder, select the below folder on the Local computer . Click OK. Click Next, and then click Finish to complete the installation of the intermediate certificate.

    You may need to restart IIS so that it starts the new certificate to give. You can verify that the certificate is installed correctly by visiting the site in your web browser using https rather than http.

  • [Q] how to build and install an SSL certificate signed for the management of a Cisco 5508 WLC?

    Our security policy requires that all web pages admin must be signed by our CA business. I have successfully implemented a SSL certificate 3rd party Auth Web our WLAN of comments, but I need to install a self-signed certificate for the management of the WLC himself. I followed the instructions here:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/Tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a00806e367a.shtml

    but it was more useful for Web auth. I can't find a specific document explaining how it should be done for the management interface.

    Any help much appreciated.

    (1) Please use a password. Empty passwords regularly give problems.

    (2) you don't recombine the key with the certificate before you download to the WLC:

    Combine the CA.pem certificate with the private key, and then convert the file to a .pem file.

    Type this command in the OpenSSL application:

    openssl>pkcs12 -export -in CA.pem -inkey mykey.pem -out CA.p12 -clcerts
    -passin pass:check123 -passout pass:check123


    !--- This command should be on one line.

    openssl>pkcs12 -in CA.p12 -out final.pem -passin pass:check123 -passout pass:check123

    Note: In this command, you must enter a password for the parameters -passin' and -passout . The password is set to the setting -passout must match the setting SubscriptionId is configured on the WLC. In this example, the password is configured at the time the -passin' and settings -passout is check123. Step 4 of the procedure in the section download the WLC third certificate of this document deals with the configuration of the SubscriptionId parameter.

    The final.pem is the file that is transferred via TFTP to the Cisco WLC.

    Now that you have the certificate of the third-party CA, you must download the certificate to the WLC.
