  • 1.  Error when trying to add vCenter to Skyline in initial configuration

    Posted Apr 03, 2019 03:36 PM

    I am getting an error when installing Skyline for my data center.  Everything goes swimmingly until it is time to add the vCenter into Skyline.  I then get the following error:

    Couldn't create collection task to test endpoint. -> java.lang.RuntimeException: Couldn't login the client.

    -> Couldn't login the client.

    -> Error communicating to the remote server https://10.x.x.x:7444/sts/stsservice/vsphere6.local

    -> Error communicating to the remote server https://10.x.x.x:7444/sts/stsservice/vsphere6.local

    -> HTTP transport error: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: No subject alternative names matching IP address 10.x.x.x found

    -> java.security.cert.CertificateException: No subject alternative names matching IP address 10.x.x.x found

    -> No subject alternative names matching IP address 10.x.x.x found

    I was able to resolve the error for the SSO Admin URL by changing to "vsphere6.local", which is custom.  I have not been able to clear the SSO STS URL or the Lookup Service URL errors, using the default config or my custom vsphere6.local.

    Any advice?

    Hi RWijbrandus,

    Hope you are doing good!

    It seems to be related to Certificate, please go ahead and try to add the Endpoint with FQDN.

    Thanks for the tip.  I have tried using both the IP and the FQDN of my vCenter.

    I also thought that I needed to create the user account for my Skyline implementation.  I have done that, but not gotten any further.

    I did get a different error message this time.  Well, slightly.

    Hi RWijbrandus,

    I can see the sts service url is wrong, it is case sensitive so please use the correct url.

    https://vcsa.vmware.com:7444/sts/STSService/vsphere6.local

    And with that correction, my new vCenter has been configured successfully!

    Thanks so much!  I hope this thread helps out some other people as well!
