Certificate error on ESXi Host page but not vSphere

Tanquen123 — Wed, 08 Apr 2020 23:08:13 GMT

I was able to get rid of the "This site is not secure" error when opening the vSphere web page by installing the certificates from the "Download trusted root CA certificates" link on the main VMware page. Is there a way to do the same for the two ESXi hosts web pages?

Hi,

On Esxi hosts, the procedure is different from the vCenter.

Follow this guide:

ESXi 6.7 SSL certificates without vCenter - Spiceworks

That guide is a little hard to follow. Also when looking at the certs on the ESXi interface it shows this: This host's certificates are being managed by vCenter Server, you cannot configure them using the Host Client.

Not looking like the info there would apply.
