Replace default certificates

• 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.

• Replace the certificate self-signed prominent 5.3

  Yet the certificate still shows as invalid and self-signed view Admin and when I join on the site.  It's showing that ranked #2 in the SVICONFIG.

  In addition to this SVICONFIG does not appear to be installed facing the connection to the server at the point 5.3. Or at least I can't.  5.3 documents do not appear to exist. 5.2 only.

  How can I replace the self-signed certificate in my servers connection and security now?

  The solution in the end was that the self singing and new cert had the same friendly name of "vrm".  Changed the name of the car to "oldcert" sign and restarted the server connection.  That solved.

• Default certificate template can not install

  When build server CA Microsoft on Windows server 2008R2, it could not install the default certificate template. When run certutil - InstallDefaultTemplates, it failed with insufficient access rights to perform the operation. The account that you use to install that is the Member of the domain admins, administrators of the company, publishers of certificates, Cert Server administrators.

  We have a domain in the forest and a child domain, the server of the CA is in the child domain.

  What else am I missing? Thanks in advance!

• Cannot access vCenter 6 licenses after the replacement of certificate

  Hi all

  Ive just replaced my vcenter 6 solution user certificates by using the Certificate Manager tool and computer. All seemed well, until when I unplugged my host in the cluster and when I try to reconnnect, brings me an error on my ssl certificate licensing, saying that my certificate in use is a less secure version lower than 3.

  I tried to access home > license option but the samr error jumped. Then I went to check the certificates that I used and found that they were indeed v1 certificates. However, the generation of the certificate request was made automatically by the tool. I don't have a choice to select the version used. Is this expected behavior? Or is there a way I can change the Certificate Manager to generate a v3 certificate requests? Or is it a totally different problem altogether.

  After a repair, we discovered that the admin of certificate uses the default settings and published the cert for us, which did not include the required extensions for a v3 cert. This caused the vcenter unable to access the license characteristics option.

  A resignation of the cert with additional extensions were made and has been used to replace the previous CERT using Certificate Manager. This solves our problem

• Looking for input on the replacement of certificates self-signed

  After many hours trying to find an answer, I now turn to the experts for assistance here.  I have Setup initially vcloud with a self-signed certificate and I am looking for help.  After some research, I was able to create a new key file with my CA-signed certificate.  However, I have problems beyond the portion of reconfigure.

  First off I am struck by the: 1433 bug I had when I initially configure vcloud where the configure script does not pick up the port number.  The workaround for this is to add: 1433 to the host name as it the entrance as the port number.  Now that I'm gone, I get an error NewInstall_preInit sql.  I don't understand not even why I need a "newInstall" as I already have a database works.  Here is my command output, maybe one of the guru here can point me in the right direction.

  Just a stab in the dark - the guides call say use a user for vcloud (named: vcloud) not "its".

  Our vcloud database user login has a default instance of the vcloud database.  Maybe this will get around the question (seems to me that THE default connection is master - and before the change of the "vcloud" database scripts he tries to put in single-user mode.

• Why the CD player replace default 'use Acrobat Pro' to open pdf files?

  Had to install the CD player to open online pdf files. Already have Acrobat Pro. After the installation of the drive of DC and despite repeated together "use this application to open pdf files" Acrobat Pro, CD player overrides this setting. Seems so new versions of programs... as, for example, Windows 10... are programmed by nerds who seem to think they know more about what a user wants to that user only. Sites now offer pdf files requiring a CD to open, but this version now seems to have the attitude "to hell with what you want to do." I want only to set Acrobat Pro as my default application to open pdf files. How can I do this? And, Adobe, why do you think that you know better than I what I want? < Nothing new, by the way; I had to do to make the script processing in PhotoShop, because it substitutes for my choices for the target files and your technicians had no idea how to solve this problem, with workarounds.

  Hi brucec3514345,

  Acrobat Reader DC has been defined as the once its installed default PDF Viewer, this is a behavior of design. However, you can change the default program, open Acrobat, navigate to the Edit-> Preferences-> General-> click "set as my default pdf reader.

  Click OK to confirm the changes.

  Kind regards

• Pre and EAS 2007 policies: Possible to replace default MaxCalendarAgeFilter?

  My pre calendar shows that my previous 2 weeks of appointments of the Exchange, regardless of how far behind, I put to synchronize e-mail. I did some research and discovered that there is a strategy Exchange ActiveSync called MaxCalendarAgeFilter which seems to be the factor limiting, at least by default. Is it possible to change the settings on the meadow to substitute this plu email policy and pull EAS? Thank you. {Jonathan}

  Currently the EAS account is assigned to take only two weeks to prevent the good performance.

  This type of issue was sent to our Engineering Department as a feature request that changes would be made available through that update the air webOS.

• Replace the certificate SSL of Insight Log with a CA signed cert

  I'm trying to generate a cert for Insight Log using the method described in this blog post (below) using an automated batch file

  http://www.derekseaman.com/2012/09/VMware-vCenter-51-installation-part-2.html

  The chain.pem file resulting includes my cert and chain cert CA.  When I try to add to the Insight Journal, it is said that the cert is invalid.  Is that you guys can provide suggestions on how to change this piece of lot code to use Log Insight?  The meat of the lot is listed below (I just left aside all the variables that are defined in advance)

  CD /d %Cert_Path%\loginsight

  % OpenSSL_BIN % genrsa 2048 > rui.key

  % OpenSSL_BIN % req-out rui.csr - rui.key - new config key - loginsight.cfg

  Certreq-submit - q - f config "% nom_autorite_de_certification %" attrib-"CertificateTemplate: % Cert_Template % ' rui.csr rui.crt

  % OpenSSL_BIN % pkcs12-export - in rui.crt - inkey rui.key - certfile % CA_Cert_Chain % - name rui-out rui.pem

  copy/b rui.crt + % CA_Cert_Chain % chain.pem

  You must have a file that contains the key and the string, otherwise you will get an error. This command:

  % OpenSSL_BIN % pkcs12-export - in rui.crt - inkey rui.key - certfile % CA_Cert_Chain % - name rui-out rui.pem

  Creates a file, but rui.pem is incorrect. It is actually creating a rui.pfx (see at the bottom of this link: The Most Common orders OpenSSL). I think the problem is that you have the - flag of knots at the end of the command (see what is the purpose - nodes in the openssl argument? - Stack Overflow). A visual way to check is to open the .pem and ensure one contains a section – BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY. The chain.pem does not work and the rui.pem is binary, because these two will fail. I hope this helps!

• Cisco NAC SSL certificate replacement

  Hello

  My apologies if this is posted in the wrong community.

  We have a NAC Manager and 2 CASES where the external SSL CA certificates are expiring November 1. Here are the certificates based on the internal IP addresses of the applainces.

  Due to a change in the CAB Forum, external case will be putting anymore based on interally CERT be resolved IPs or hostnames, so I need to replace these certificates with those based on their FULL domain name.

  However, I do have the option to generate a CSR based on the existing cert or to generate a new temporary certificate. This will allow me to generate a certificate based on the FULL domain name, but I'm not sure of the generation of impact that causes a new certificate?

  Did anyone done this before? If so, is it safe to do it or it will cause problems within the devices / with end users who connect?

  What is the only way to generate a new certificate?

  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions you can provide

  Richard,

  No need to remove the old cert, generating a new cert temp will not cause any problem.

  This should respond to your request.

• Identity certificate replacing ASA5520 Anyconnect

  I hope someone can give me a quick answer to my query, we currently have an asa remote access using Anyconnect with self-signed certificate facility and several users in the database of certificate that we use for the radius and certificate authentication.

  I want to buy and get a signed certificate of trust CA (such as Verisign), and replace the current free signed certs.

  My question is should I reset the current ASA CA server and replace the certificate user database? That is to say to start over.

  No, you don't have to start from scratch. It is common to have the ASA-identity-CERT to a public certification authority, but user certificates are a private certification authority. With your change, get you exactly this scenario.

• replacement for the vRA certificate error 7

  Facing a problem when replacing the certificates on the web server of IaaS. I have replace the cert in the vRA device and I get the error "certificate with thumbprint {footprint of} not found in the store." I checked and the certificate was certainly added to the web server, IaaS. I even changed the binding of IIS on the web server to use the new certificate and that represented the process unit of vRA, and I got the same message.

  

  I worked with support about this and they did not even try to troubleshoot the update via the VAMI cert. They had me to do it manually using essentially the same steps as 6.2 (although there is a new URL) - http://pubs.vmware.com/vra-70/index.jsp#com.vmware.vrealize.automation.doc/GUID-91B9E89E-206B-4B1C-983D-D58A1CEDA7B4.html

  I know that this does not really solve the root cause of the problem, but at least if you come across this thread, you will know how not to waste time trying to work through the VAMI.

  Update 09/07/2016

  The link of vRA 7 above no longer works and I'm unable to find a replacement for vRA 7. However, the steps are the same as if documented for vRA 6 which can be found here: http://pubs.vmware.com/vra-62/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vra.install.doc%2FGUID-91B9E89E-206B-4B1C-983D-D58A1CEDA7B4.html
