Had to follow this:
but the commands are wrong & give error in step 4
Error Loading extension section v3_req
6864:error:2207507C:X509 V3 routines:v2i_GENERAL_NAME_ex:missing value:.\crypto\x509v3\v3_alt.c:433:
6864:error:22098080:X509 V3 routines:X509V3_EXT_nconf:error in extension:.\crypto\x509v3\v3_conf.c:93:name=subjectAltName,
This edit made it work: (got it from here)
[ v3_req ]
subjectAltName = @alt_names
[alt_names]
email =
DNS.1 =
DNS.2 =
DNS.3 =
IP.1 =
Then I followed this: VMware KB: Configuring CA signed certificates for vCenter Server 5.5
New certificate is applied fine, but Web Client still throws error on login:
Based on the current configuration, the SSL certificate of the authentication server was not trusted.
What does it really mean? Who does not trust who?
Madness!
