    Does it indicate a certificate issue?

    I followed the steps as per the vmware kb (VMware KB: Configuring Certificate Authority (CA) signed certificates for vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 ),but it stuck in the the following command :

    /usr/sbin/vpxd_servicecfg certificate change chain.pem rui.key

    in lab enviroment,i deployed a vcenter appliance 5.5 and sucessfully replace all the certificats.

    it suggest that the certificates is ok.

    the vcenter is updated from vcenter appliance 5.1, should i replace the certificate follow vmware kb 2036744 for vCenter Server Appliance 5.1?

    anticipate your help

    thank in advance

    Dear friend! I have similar problems, the SSO certificates have run out and the vpxd service is not starting... If you have an image of vcenter server 5.5 appliance, please share it...
