VCF Buildout: Preparing Security Requirements for Running Validation Skipped

[BhojaRavi]

VCF version: VMware Cloud Foundation 5.1.0.0-22688368.

Progress fails at "Preparing Security Requirements for Running Validation" fails with "Skipped" message. Subsequently all other steps failed with "Skipped" message.

I have gathered the SSH RSA Key Fingerprints & SSL Thumbprints with the same procedure as in the older versions. Please assist if there is a different way to capture this data.

[BhojaRavi]

SSL Thumbprints were gathered using the below command

openssl x509 -in /etc/vmware/ssl/rui.crt -fingerprint -sha256 -noout

RSA Key Fingerprints were generated using the below command.

/usr/lib/vmware/openssh/bin/ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub

Referred - https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/83524. That helped to get past the error.

Hi All, 

I am facing the seame error message when I trying to deploy VCF 5.2 using suggested file config (Work book). 

Unfortunately the posted how seems was a good answer for that, was removed. 

Thank you for your help.

I faced the same error. Upon checking the vcf-bringup-debug.log I could see errors "Certificate doesn't match any of the subject alternative names"
Followed this KB to fix the issue https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/386968 
My problem was the Domain Name wasn't configured on the host properly causing the Alternate name to be different than the FQDN. They both have to match to ensure the Validation passes.

I faced the same issue, but resolved it by editing default TCP/IP stack and add my domain name, then regenerate the SSL thumbprint and populate in the parameter sheet. this makes <yourhostname.yourdomainname>bind with ssl thumprint.
