my vSphere is saying there is an issue with a certificate.....yet all teh certs in the manager says they are good until 2026.   I have rebooted the appliance and it says the same.

(I am only on the version of vSphere due to hardware constraints.)

Any thought on how to fix?   it doesn't even say which cert it is having an issue with

root@<machineName> [ /tmp ]# ./checksts.py

2 VALID CERTS
================

        LEAF CERTS:

        [] Certificate <Thumb-Print> will expire in 646 days (2 years).

        ROOT CERTS:

        [] Certificate <Thumb-Print> will expire in 2831 days (8 years).

0 EXPIRED CERTS
================

        LEAF CERTS:

        None

        ROOT CERTS:

        None
root@<machineName> [ /tmp ]#

Our organization is also seeing a similar issue in our environment. Based on our firewall logs, we're seeing client resets whenever vCenter 6.7 attempts to reach IPs 172.66.0.165 & 169.159.140.167 since 13:04 US Central time on Friday, 1/31. We suspect this may be related to Broadcom cutting over from the old VMware sites on that date.  This also seemed to drop this vCenter from the domain and we are unable to rejoin it due to an error stating that the Domain is offline, despite being able to reach it from the appliance CLI.
