I am using Vsphere 6.5 and unable to login to the webclient from any of the browsers and following error message only appearing. Kindly assist on this.
A server error occurred.
[500] SSO error: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.CertificateValidationException: Server certificate chain is not trusted and thumbprint doesn't match
Check the vSphere Web Client server logs for details.

Hi Mohamed,
please provide more details about your environment. Which version of vSphere/vCenter are you using? Are you using vCenter for Windows or the vCenter appliance? Do you use an external PSC or an embedded one?
As a starting point you can also try to search for your specific error code (com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.CertificateValidationException) in the VMware Knowledgebase.

What is your vCenter server exact build number? If you are in an earlier version than 6.5b please check this: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2148196
Next, check the status of all vCenter's services via the VAMI interface (http://vcsa_IP:5480) and make sure everything is working fine.
Then please tell me did you ever change the default certification of the vCenter server or .... register a new product to the vSphere environment like the NSX? So check the following link about your problem: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2109074
Thank you for the steps to resolve my issues.
- Which version of vSphere/vCenter are you using? vSphere 6.5
- Are you using vCenter for Windows or the vCenter appliance? Yes for windows Server 2016 Data center
- Do you use an external PSC or an embedded one? Embedded with DELL blade server PowerEdge M630 with Vcenter
I am keep on searching.
Thank you so much for your reply and support.
- What is your vCenter server exact build number? - I am using Version 6.5.0 , Build number - 4602587
I have gone through the details of articles and finally with an recomendation, I have updated the Vcenter server and restarted the Server.
Now, Alhamdulillah ..:)
Working fine and able to access the vSphere Web Client.
Thank you so much for all of you comments.
scott28tt Thank you for your advice and i wont tag any one here after, but I needed to figure it out and it was bit urgent, So i tagged some experts like you bro.
Moderator:
Tagging can be entirely appropriate when done for the right reasons - such as if you are already in conversation with someone within a thread, or there is a specific person you KNOW is an expert with a particular problem (eg. LucD in the PowerCLI area, continuum with corruption/recovery issues)
But tagging a large set of people simply to generate a notification to them is not necessary or desirable - the vast majority of us are here voluntarily, no matter how urgent your issue.
Anyways... Thanks for your support
