VMware vCenter SSL Certificate 101


Read over a thousand documents but no one had ALL the information on how to replace vCenter's component's certificates.

I was left with many question such as:
1. What vCenter server components require certificate?
2. What files are required in certificate change process?
3. How does certificate gets generated?
4. How to replace certificates, just copy/paste works?
5. How trust is established once the certificates are replaced, so on & so forth...

In this blog I will share some best practices & show the entire SSL process of vCenter certificate replacement process.
