Failed to validate certificate during Site Recover Manager installation

Hi,

I'm having an issue while deploying VMware vCenter SRM with the certificate.

Our vCenters are both 5.5 appliances and have a trusted certificate from our CA's.  The certificate replacement procedure was used for that and it has been working fine.

Now we have deployed 2 windows 2012 r2 servers, to install vCenter Site Recovery Manager.

But we keep on getting the following error

I have tried creating the CSR with certreq and even with openssl, but the problem remains.

The openssl config was like this

[ req ]

default_bits = 2048

default_keyfile = rui.key

distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name

#Don't encrypt the key

encrypt_key = no

prompt = no

string_mask = nombstr

[ req_distinguished_name ]

countryName = BE

stateOrProvinceName = Vlaams-Brabant

localityName = Diegem

0.organizationName = DSI

organizationalUnitName = NOC

emailAddress = xxxx@xxxx

commonName = SRM

extendedKeyUsage = serverAuth, clientAuth

subjectAltName = DNS: srmservername01.fqdn

Any idea? Been searching for a solution for days.

And I'm not really into moving back to Windows based vcenter servers.

Thanks
