Error adding an SSL cert in Openstack 4.0

[PhilippPrestele]

Hi everybody,

I am struggeling with a new issue at VIO 4.0.

I just have deployed it in our lab and I would like to add an signed SSL cert.

CSR creation is fine, as soon as I would like to import the final cert but I am receiving the following error:

Failed to decode VALUE_STRING as base64 (MIME-NO-LINEFEEDS): Illegal character '"' (code 0x22) in base64 content

at [Source: java.io.StringReader@171f36df; line: 1, column: 40]

The cert is base64 and it works fine with other servers as well.

Also the procedure was fine in VIO 3.1

Does anybody had a similary expierence?

thanks in advance

Did you checked the certificate file with:

openssl x509 -in certificate.crt -text -noout

Maybe some illegal windows character in the file?

Looks fine so far to me.

Yes looks good to me too.

Did you try the same on the management vm?

Do you know the following blog entry:

Simplified Certificate Management with VMware Integrated OpenStack - OpenStack Blog for VMware - VMw...

Also, did you have a full chain in the cert? (look my other topic) If not, this does not generate a warning, but it's good to know.
