Cannot add vcenter server in View 6: cannot finish because of the invalid certificate

[arvon]

Although I accepted the thumbprint, somehow this does not get back to the Horizon View Administrator, because I keep getting this message:

"Possibly an invalid vCenter Server certificate. Please verify the identity of the associated vCenter Server."

Have you changed the vCenter cert or is it still the selfsigned one?

Hi,

I'm having the same problem, I enter my vCenter details and accept the default self signed certificate but when I come to complete the wizard I receive the error "possibly an invalid vcenter server certificate. please verify the identity of the associated vcenter server". I have not changed the certificate on my vCenter server, it is still the original self signed cert. I did not have this issue when running a separate View 5.3 trial.

I am running vSphere 5.1 and my connection server is running on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Thanks

@Linjo: Almost exactly the same situation for me. No change in certificate (so using the default) , vSphere 5.1 , no problem with this in a separate running View 5.3. I run my connection server on Server 2012 R2.

I have exactly the same problem. Did you found something?

Check this first: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=208200...

Then this if you want to do it the easy way: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=204160...

Hopefully works for you.

View 6 does not support key lenght lower than 1024.

That could be the problem. Unfortunately I'm not the admin on the vCenter server, so I have to wait for our admin to do this and confirm that it works. Meanwhile, when setting up a new environment with a new vCenter server, everything works flawless with View 6.
