• Generate certificates for use with the VMware SSL certificate automation tool

  Hello

  I am trying to use the tool to automate SSL certificate. Our vCenter Server is configured in pulse mode. When I'm trying to generate the request (CSR companies) for Single sing - on (SSO) of certificate signing, option 1 is to provide the FULL domain name. I want to know what domain name FULL should I provide the name of the node or virtual.

  Also I will try to use this tool for other components like updatemanager, inventory service, service of vcenter server, web client. Have experience how to use this tool?

  Thank you

  I successfully replaced certificates for all services. I used the FQDN of the virtual name and not the name of the node to generate the CSR. Thank you

• SSL Automation tool fails to assign new Certs

  Hey all,.

  I'm having a puzzling problem... Let me to you the basics of the road...

  I use 2 ESXi hosts on version 5.1.

  I installed vCenter on a virtual machine hosted on Windows server 2008 R2...

  I ran the method of simple installation using SQL 2008 express, the server is largely autonomous.

  VCenter, connected as [email protected], configured services successfully installed the connection so that domain administrator account and set this area as main.

  I am able to connect successfully as a domain administrator, but cannot configure vCenter server as it said that none was found, so I had to sign in again with the admin of vsphere and enable permissions on the server vCenter object domain admins.

  All good finally created my store of data, Cluster, and all added hosts fine...

  Now, I wanted to finally get to the point where I wanted to certifcates signed by our CA company, so I don't have to worry about the validity of the CERT whenever I connect.

  Now I'm finally on the attribution of the cert to the service...  (note that this tool is installed directly on the server vCenter Server, c:\VMware dir)

  Press 3 (updated SSO)

  Press 1 (update the SSO Cert)

  Enter all the required fields as planned with the full paths to the directory...

  Then I get this! Error but below is extracted from the actual log file.

  Hello, Zewwy.

  You should definitely use SSL Automation Tool 5.5 to your vCenter and its services (Web Client, inventory, etc...). On ESXi: I replaced the CERT of the host by my hands, and not by the tool.

  Also, be sure to use SHA256RSA algorithm. Here are the instructions for ESXi VMware KB: configuration CA signed certificates for ESXi hosts 5.x .

• SSL automation tool does not load advanced configurations

  Hi all

  I'm trying to upload a new SSL certificate on my server vCenter (Virtual Center 5.1 u1b). I have already asked the certificate, create all necessary files and I am trying to load on my environment.

  My vCenter server have the same name of the certificate, we use an alias to make easier the connection of the workstation to VDI environment.

  That's my problem, when I try to add the new certificate that I received the message below:

  [.] ERROR: The leaf certificate has not any CN or subjectAltName that match

  are the public address of the current computer. The rejection of the chain. To ignore this

  check, set the environment variable 'ssl_tool_no_cert_san_check' to 1.

  [.] ERROR: The supplied certificate string is not valid.

  
  

  Okay, I went to the config file and published. I activated the ssl_tool_no_cert_san_check with the variable 1 and restart the tool.

  
  

  Soon the automation tool starts, you receive the following message:

  
  F:\SSLAutomationTool1.0.1 > ssl - updater.bat

  'ssl_tool_no_cert_san_check' is not recognized as an internal or external command

  d, operable program or batch file.

  
  

  If the parameter I need is not loaded.

  Anyone know how I can fix this?

  Thank you

• SE sec_error_inadequate_cert_type with private SSL Cert

  Howdy,

  I run a certification authority private for personal use and only to learn more about SSL Certs. However, with the current version of FireFox I'm on (31) I can no longer visit the sites that I secured with SSL Certs that are signed by this CA, although these SSL certificates work perfectly fine in Chrome and Internet Explorer. I get an error "sec_error_inadequate_cert_type." I can't assume that the certs that I delivered are bad in some way, but the error is imprecise and the error page does not specify more.

  Only, I discovered this when I realized some of my SSL certificates had expired, and I went to their reissue.

  From the certificates that has not yet expired, but problems can be found here:

  • https://forums.silicateillusion.org

  One of the Certs I tried reissue, assorted fields included as closely as possible to a Google SSL cert I looked up is here:

  • https://phpMyAdmin.endofevolution.com

  These certificates have been generated using the application called SimpleAuthority, found here: http://simpleauthority.com/

  A Site like Networking4All.com seems to believe that certificates are valid, with the exception of the certification authority which is Self signed: http://www.networking4all.com/en/support/tools/site+check/report/?fqdn=phpmyadmin.endofevolution.com & = https protocol

  Curiously, using another site like SSLShopper me an error similar to FF31: http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=https://phpmyadmin.endofevolution.com

  Certificates are currently running on an Apache Web server: Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.21 OpenSSL/1.0.0e PHP/5.3.10

  The CA Cert is in store for FireFox as being approved.

  If needed, I can provide certs.

  I discovered the problem: the CA certificate that I was using had extended consumption.

  See Bug: 1049176

  I confirmed this by generating a new CA test with the excluded the use extended field, then generate a new certificate of SSL certificate checks correctly now.

  While I'm relieved, I realized what the problem is, being so vague with the error message that makes me lean towards another browser for primary use. The fact it took me 4 days and a very large amount of work to understand why this was happening is unacceptable, because the error description was generic and included no sets out the steps so never.

• ASA5505 inscription on SSL cert error when applied to the interface?

  Created a CSR, gets the certificate files, the downloaded ASA505.   Three certificates in the CA certificates; the one in the certificate of identification.  Everything seems all just wonderful.  "Now use the SSL certs: in trying to associate the certificate with the Interface in the SSL settings section, we get an error"

  [ERROR] ssl trust-point ASDM_TrustPoint5 outside
  Trustpoint are not registered.  If please register trustpoint and try again.

  The cert will appear in the drop-down selection, why the error?  How do I delete it?

  Hi Stewart Buswell,

  I have seen this problem when starting the CSR request through the CLI by using the configuration of the terminal of registration and then going to the ASDM and adding the identity certificate without using the command crypto ca enroll through the CLI.

  In this case, if you use the CLI/ASDM you can follow this guide:

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/ASA-5500-x-series-NEX...

  And the way to solve this problem will be generation a new CSR on the ASDM using the same key pair and install the certificate on this trustpoint. After you apply the cert to the ssl, you can remove the old one which was not.

  Hope this info helps!

  Note If you help!

• vRops SSL Certs

  Hello

  So, Ive recently rolled out an 8 node vRops enviromnemt and finally had the time to ask the authority of internal certification signed SSL Certs, I created them, convert their PEM format, downloaded 1 cert, had look ok, then did the 2nd node, verified and it looked ok, I then checked the node 1, who pointed out a mistake and said there the same SSL certificate as the crux of the 2nd.

  Now I need to check that documentation does not seem to say that and not see anything on the web it is clear either.

  VROps is the SSL certificate of the same SSL certifiate for each node for an enviromnemt?

  If so what I need to create a single SSL certificate and a subjectAltName for each node intot he asks cert.

  which means that I have put an article like this in my openssl.cnf

  [v3_req]

  subjectAltName = @alt_names

  [alt_names]

  DNS.1 = vropsnode1.internal.domain

  DNS.2 = vropsnode2.internal.domain

  DNS.3 = vropsnode3.internal.domain

  DNS.4 = vropsnode4.internal.domain

  DNS.5 = vropsnode5.internal.domain

  DNS.6 = vropsnode6.internal.domain

  DNS.7 = vropsnode7.internal.domain

  DNS.8 = vropsnode8.internal.domain

  IP.1 = 192.168.1.1

  IP.2 = 192.168.1.2

  IP.3 = 192.168.1.3

  IP.4 = 192.168.1.4

  IP.5 = 192.168.1.5

  IP.6 = 192.168.1.6

  IP.7 = 192.168.1.7

  IP.8 = 192.168.1.8

  see you soon

  The documentation is really poor in this area. but I got this VMware"one certificate will be used by the web server on all nodes, so to do the certificate must be valid for all nodes.  One way to get there is with multiple subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries".  So looks like im on the right track.

  Which is kind of weird, but works as that said, when you look at the certs ssl free signed that they have different names vc-ops-slice-1, vc-ops-slice-2 etc. but then you download an SSL certificate cert of the same is on all nodes.

  Update: Ive had an SSL certificate generated with the subjectAltName as in the example above with the full domain name and IPs for each node in the cluster and created the imported and appropriate to this PEM file, it works and the certificate is valid on all the nodes, this is the solution.

  Also of the impact, that is the question that vRops Government itself to vCenter with the IP address and not FQDN, the SSL certificate needs the IP address, but in my case it causes also connectivity issues in browsers because of our proxy settings, so it must be considered if his need...

  • vRealize extension of Operations Manager is saved using the IP address instead of the DNS name
    By default, vRealize Operations Manager saves its extension with vCenter using the IP address of Operations Manager and not the DNS name vRealize. Users who click on open vRealize Operations Manager tab monitor vCenter open a URL based on the Operations Manager IP address vRealize and not the DNS name.
    Workaround: To allow the registration of the name vRealize Operations Manager with the DNS name extension, follow these steps:
    1. On each node of the cluster of Operations Manager vRealize, follow these steps:
       1. Starting the console, open the following file in a text editor.
          $ALIVE_BASE/user/conf/configuration.properties
       2. Add the following line to the properties.
          extensionUseDNS = true
          Note: You can go back to using the IP address by changing the property to false.
       3. Save and close configuration.properties.
    2. Connect to the Operations Manager vRealize management interface and restart the cluster.

• Help with weird Vcenter SSL cert issues?

  Hi all

  We set up just a new Vcenter server with 2 ESX4 host.  Everything works fine, but when we loging to the DNS name of the server (virtual server) it invites for the SSL cert twice.  Once for the DNS name of the virtual server and a time for the IP address.  If we connect via the IP instead of the DNS name it only inspires us once.  We do not use currently an SSL certificate then just click on ignore twice, but it's a strange slow that I have not seen before and that he could use some direction?

  What is a DNS problem? or a problem / setting in vCenter.  Any help would be greatly appricated.

  Thanks again,

  Double guest is normal when VUM is enabled.

  In our environment, we installed the SSL certificates for main vCenter (without prompts for main VC) and then just installed/ignored these messages for VUM plugin.  The reasoning is that only a few admins will activate the Crossover plugin.  Most users have no need for this.

  If you do not enable SSL at all you can try this to switch them off at the vSphere client.

  You can right-click on your viclient--> properties--> find the target: on my system is "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe.

  Adding a switch '-j' heard ' in the end do like:

  'C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe'-i Yes

  I understand there is no way to disable the vCenter level alerts.  This must be done at the level of the vSphere client or SSL certificates must be configured.  It is of course your call concerning the safety of your CA.

• Error SSL Automation Tool

  I'm updating my certificates for certificates signed by our CA. When I update the SSO certificates, he asked my master password. When I get in there, it gives me an error that the password is incorrect. I know that it is correct, because I uninstall SSO with the same password and can change passwords for admin with the rsautil utility (which requires that the password). According to me, it gives me an error because I have an ampersand (&) my password and he treats as a delimiter.

  Since according to VMware, there is no way to change the SSO password, I'm SOL? If I have to uninstall and reinstall with a new password for SSO, which will ruin anything? All that I really care about is that my VDI clients are disconnected and it can reconnect to customers (all full clones).

  BTW, I already tried to change the password with this German site (http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1 & hl = in & rurl = translate.google.com & sl = of & tl = in & u = http: / / www.die-...)

  Have you tried running just

  rsautil manage the-secrets - a change

  It should automatically request the normal password and a new password by avoiding any command-line escaping issues.

• Wildcard SSL cert on ASA

  Is it possible to use a wildcard on a SAA SSL certificate? In other words, instead of getting a specific cert with the FQDN of the ASA, we would use the emitted wildcard cert?

  Absolutely, it is particularly necessary in environments of ASA vpn load balancing. When you connect to a FULL domain name which translates an IP load balancing, one of the ASAs will make a http redirect to its individual host name, your browser (or AnyConnect) will attempt this connection and ASA must have a certificate for this specific host name. Have a certificate wildcard on all the ASAs solves this. I've got this running on several clients.

  If you need help with setting up, let me know.

  You can generate keys private on the SAA (and later export it to another ASA or other devices other than cisco), or you can import a certificate with existing wildcard characters with the private keys (to the PKCS12-BASE64 format)

  Kind regards

• View, Split DNS and SSL Certs HELP

  We have:

  1. Internal security server - not on the domain, IP address of the 10.121.125.110 and the external address of 209.68.96.26
     1. Installed SSL certificate for view.victorschools.org
        
     2. View.victorschools.org DNS entry to 209.68.96.26
        
  2. Broker server - the field, has internal IP address of the 10.121.127.107
     1. Installed SSL certificate for broker.vcs.local
        
     2. Broker.vcs.local DNS entry to 10.121.125.107
        
     3. View.victorschools.org DNS entry to 10.121.125.107
        

  The problem arises on two fronts:

  1. Portable professor who has installed the view client pointing at view.victorschools.org. Internally, that the DNS entry pointing to the broker server that has the broker.vcs.local cert. Unless the client is configured to check no certs, the connection will not work. When we try us immediately returns with a cert mismatch error.
     
  2. Personal devices - student charge the Customer View on a laptop or iPad and it points to view.victorschools.org. It works fine at home, but even once will not work on campus because there is an incompatibility of cert
     

  Can I solve this problem by changing a DNS entry and have view.victorschools.org point to 10.121.125.110 which is the internal IP address of the Security Server? Of course, this will make any student with a personal device point to our security at home or school server. I know we want internal devices to point to the broker and external clients to point to the Security server. Here is a discussion of the same thing, I feel less the number of SSL certificate.

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/431399

  I know that a windows CA to generate certificates with Subject Alternative names (SAN). Can we generate a cert from our CA window for broker.vcs.local and view.victorschools.org and install it on the server broker to solve this problem?

  Replace the SSL on broker a SAN certificate.

  If you route everything through the Security Server, you create a single point of failure, not to mention a bottleneck in the network.
