vCenter 6.7: Uploading Files to Content Library after changing SSL-Certificates (SSL error)

Hello,

a few days ago i changed the __MACHINE_CERT of my vCenter Server to one trusted by my client. (Issued by my own CA). I also added my own CA-Certificate to the vCenter.
Everything works fine, no certificate error in browser.

But now i tried to upload an .iso File to a newly created Content-Library. This failes with the following error shown in the vCenter Log)

Im using vCenter 6.7.

The import of library item e058b94e-29bd-4808-8add-c2547dc3e0f5 has failed.
Reason: Error transferring file isofilename.iso to

ds:///vmfs/volumes/5c23df69-f7a0c5da-307b-b8ac6f8ad266//contentlib-e128a4fa-a745-4ec2-9649-d2e93f12b3b3/e058b94e-29bd-4808-8add-c2547dc3e0f5/isofilename.iso?serverId=ca6785de-8a3b-4a46-b10a-aef692176f36. Reason: Error while uploading to datastore (ds:///vmfs/volumes/5c23df69-f7a0c5da-307b-b8ac6f8ad266//contentlib-e128a4fa-a745-4ec2-9649-d2e93f12b3b3/e058b94e-29bd-4808-8add-c2547dc3e0f5/isofilename.iso?serverId=ca6785de-8a3b-4a46-b10a-aef69

2176f36): SSL error.

Before i changed the certificate to my own, the content-library was working fine. Is there any other Certificate i have to replace?

I also tried to reboot everything. (Its just a lab server, so no worries.)

Can someone maybe help me?a

Thanks and best regards!

Can you check if DNS entry of vcenter is present in SAN field of certificate?

Open certificate --> Details --> Subject Alternate Name

I see errors related to vapi service, would require complete log bundle for review.

com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.NotAllowedInCurrentState: NotAllowedInCurrentState (com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.not_allowed_in_current_state) => {

    messages = [LocalizableMessage (com.vmware.vapi.std.localizable_message) => {

Did you open a SR with VMware support?
