ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID (even after certificate import)

[phuz]

Apparently I am doing something wrong still, because I have exhausted all methods I've found and I still get the:

Your connection is not private

NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

I have gone into /etc/vmware/ssl and grabbed the .crt file and tried to import that into the Trusted Root Certificates for the "Computer Account" and I have also tried to export the certificate (.cer) from Chrome when going to my ESXi page.  However, I still get the error.

My server's name is esxiserver.home and the certificate shows:

Issued to: esxiserver.home

Issued by: VMware installer

Valid from: 9/13/2017 to 3/14/2029

Any help appreciated.  I can still get to the site if I proceed to the unsafe site, but I'd like to remedy this annoyance.

Thanks.
