VRMS solution user is missing

My remote Replication appliance is showing Enabled(Configuration issue) when I hover over it I see the message: "The VRMS Solution user is missing or outdated. Visit the vSphere Replication VAMI and reconfigure the appliance". When I go to configure the appliance everything looks ok. Can't find much on vmware kb on this, anyone know what this means?

I rebooted the replication appliance and it went to Enabled (Ok) for awhile but then went back to "configuration error"

I've just had the same error and have managed to resolve the problem.

It appears that self signed certs for the vRA are only generated for 1 year. (Dear VMware change the default to 10 years please Smiley Happy)

To resolve the issue simply login to the vRA at each site access the configuration tab, input the password and then click the Generate and Install button under Install a new SSL Certificate.

This will generate a new self signed certificate and restart the VRM service. I had to use Firefox for this as Chrome would just hang.

vCenter all happy and can monitor/manage replication again.
