The same vCenter cert works for both VC/ESXi sessions. One common way to download cert is - Click on the cert in your browser (in chrome it's to the right of the address, says "Not secure") then click the certification path, and click "CA" to export it into a crt file.

Steps for Linux: ------------------- 1) Download the crt file from vCenter. i.e, Go to https://vCenter in your browser and press Enter. At the bottom right of the page, there is an option to "Download trusted root CA certificates." It will download the zip file, extract it, and then navigate to the "lin" folder, where it has the certificate file (i.e., "XXXXXXXX.0"). 2) Copy the cert file and save it in the "/etc/ssl/certs" folder on your client machine. 3) Add the vCenter IPaddress and hostname entry in the /etc/hosts file. ( if any DNS resolution issue) 4) Run the Python program, but make sure to pass the vCenter hostname (FQDN) instead of the IP address in the code or command. Eg: without any ssl context   from pyVim.connect import SmartConnect si = SmartConnect(host="<vCenter or ESXi hostname>", user="<username>", pwd='<password>', port=443)
