Cannot login to vcenter

Hi all

Fairly new to vmware so need some help.

The certificate for my vcenter has expired so I am unable to login.
If I go to https://FQDN / IP address I get 'no healthy upstream' error.

If I go to https://FQDN:5480 and try to login I get this error 'Exception in invoking authentication handler [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:1076)'
Vcenter is version 7.0.3.00100
I am also unable to login with ssh. 

How do I create a new selfsigned SSL?

Sounds like you're running into this kb

You'll need to login to the ESXi host, connect to the VCSA and issue F2 and run the commands in the KB

HI , Please SSH to Vcenter and reset all the certificates using the certificate manager, VPXD services will be up with the default VMCA  issued certificate

Open port 22 from the console and ssh to the appliance.
