I am using a certificate that I generated via openssl, but signed with my internal ca. I followed this guide when generating and replacing my certificates: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vsp_51_vcserver_esxi_certificates.pdf
Here are my log files for view composer:

What's interesting is if I point my web browser to https://myvcenter:18443 I receive a page with the following (just as a side note, the ssl certificate shows up trusted in my browser :P): Not Found
HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.
Is that normal?
Thanks!
