STS soon expire

Hello,
I cant fint any usable information from your site to solve my problem.
The article what I found the expired STS cert solution.
My system is 6.5U2 and no one article to show me how can I solve this problem.
So what is the solution?
All cert is okay but the LEAF cert is counting to soon expire on 25days. Maybe equal the TST cert because the VCSA and linked VCSA system has a same expiration date.
But no solution to fix this problem.
python checksts.py
2 VALID CERTS
================

LEAF CERTS:

will expire in 24 days (0.0 years).

ROOT CERTS:

will expire in 2941 days (8.0 years).

0 EXPIRED CERTS
================

LEAF CERTS:

None

ROOT CERTS:

None

As I see I'm not the only one who suffer this thing. And no correct solution from vmware. Great.

If I were you, I would upgrade your vCenter to version 6.7 Update 3 latest version. 
License will be the same.

6.7 maybe helps but I can not upgrade to 6.7 because I have a 5.5 esxi and it is can not manage with 6.7.

What if I install 6.7 with linked mode? The 6.7 solve the 6.5 cert bug? Can I renew on the web gui html5 somehow easier?

 

Great link what you share thx.
