Changed IP Address of vCenter - No Longer Able to Manage Via Web UI

[jbando2000]

So, there are many questions out there related to this, but I haven't found a definitive answer to this issue.

I recently changed the IP address of my vCenter (running on Windows, not the appliance).  I've managed to get everything working again, including access via the legacy windows client, but when trying to access via the Web UI, I keep getting an error stating the SSO server is pointing to the old IP address.  I've read the many articles on re-registering services and have attempted to do that, but I get the ssl chain error that I see in many non-answered questions on this forum.

Any thoughts on this outside of re-installing vCenter?  That's not really an option.

All help is appreciated.

Thanks.

The ultimate problem appears to be that the new IP address isn't in the "Subject Alternative Name" in the cert.  I can't re-register because the new address is not associated with the cert at all.

Open add/remove programs and reconfigure SSO application.

When you say 'reconfigure' you mean uninstall and re-install?  There is no option to edit or change it.
