Change SSL certificate?

[PatricNIX]

Hi!

I have a .pfx-file of a wildcard certificate that we use for other stuff and I would like to add this to my vCenter installation so I don't get the warning every time I log in.

My vCenter 6.0 is installed on Windows 2012 R2.

I found some information about the "certificate-manager.bat" but it will ask for "custom certificate", "custom key" and "signing certificate of the Machine SSL certificate".

The certificate and the key I can get but I don't know what it means by "signing certificate"?

Can anyone explain how I can add my certificate if I have it as a .pfx-file?

Thanks,

-Patric

Is there no one that can help me with this?

The documentation on this pretty none existent when I try to search for it.

All I want is to use my wildcard certificate instead of the self-signed certificate that is used by default when I go to the web client.

I have tried to generate a new self-signed certificate with the certificate-manager.bat using Option 4.

The server name is vc1.domain.local and I try to generate the certificate for vcenter.domain.com but it doesn't work.

vCenter won't start correctly and it complains about the certificate not matching vc1.domain.local

Is it not possible to generate a self-signed certificate with a different hostname than what the server it self has? If that's not possible and it's not possible to change to a custom certificate, how in the hell does everyone else do this?
