vCenter 5.5 - Convert Private Key to RSA Private key

[Lalegre]

More than an issue is a doubt that i have regarding the next KB article VMware Knowledge Base

I am having the issue that appears on the KB and i already converted the rui.key into an RSA Private Key.

So my question is, the only thing i have to do is copy paste and replace the rui.key? Obviously before that i am going to stop al vCenter services and i am going to do it on a maintenance window.

Thanks!

No ,

I Think It is not asking you to replace rui.key instead it is giving you an example i.e : this command openssl rsa -in rui-orig.key -out rui.key will coverts the private key into RSA .

rui-orig.key is the actual key

rui.key is the name you are using

Please consider marking this answer as "correct" or "helpful" if you think your questions have been answered.

Yes i know but i have the rui.key on the folder where vCenter Server reads the certificates, so i have to replace it with the new rui.key in RSA format.

That process involves only a copy paste?

[GayathriS]

that is your rui-orig.key ( the key which you already have )
