Regenerate SSL certificate on ESX 3.01

[WesTopping]

I can't find any documentation on doing this. Does anyone know the procedure for 3.01?

I found the answer to my own question. Here it is If anyone else needs to know.

1. Change directories to /etc/vmware/ssl

2. Create backups of any existing certificates by executing the

following commands:

mv rui.crt orig.rui.crt

mv rui.key orig.rui.key

3. Enter the following command to restart the vmware-hostd

process:

service mgmt-vmware restart

4. Confirm that the ESX Server host generated new certificates by

executing the following command comparing the time stamps of

the new certificate files with orig.rui.crt and orig.rui.key:

ls -lha.

This seems to work for me.

it should be noted that (at least on my 3.5 server) restarting the mgmt-vmware service also restarts all the running VMs.

I am running VC 2.5.0 update 1 and stille get error in my logs when performing p2v import:

SSLVerifyCertAgainstSystemStore: Subject mismatch: VMware vs prd-vc.xx.xx.coma

I notice the certificate on VC 3.5.x is issued to vmware by vmware and this is not the VC server name?

I am still looking for answer.
