  • 1.  Unable to install certificate via UI

    Posted Jul 31, 2023 10:54 AM

    Hey Fellow vCenter users;

    I'm somewhat new to the management side of vCenter, and hit an issue with installing SSL certificates.

    I'm getting the below screen, and it's not clear why. I was able to install the certificate using the certificate-management CLI command, but this not presenting the intermediate CA, and is therefor still showing as untrusted in browsers.

    Have you added the intermediate and root certificate to the "Trusted root Certificate" store?

    Along with Machine certificate, you also have to add intermediate and root certificate to the "Trusted root Certificate" store.

    You can use the same certificate-management CLI command to add certificates to "Trusted Root Certificates".

    Also regarding the blank screen, you are getting this only on the certificate manager page or every other page also?
