I tried to upload a certificate set to our VCSA using the GUI and root account (Administrator). I didn't realize that I had to combine the root and intermediate files into one, so after uploading, resetting and following a guide I found, then rebooting the VCSA, the browser would not connect and showed the following error in Chrome: NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
So, I tried to reset everything in the CLI but got errors doing that, now I'm trying to copy the appended cert file to the VCSA but when I follow the instructions to do that (changing the shell access to allow SCP), whenever I try to SCP the file, I get "Unknown command 'scp'" after it prompts me with the login and password. I did the following:
On the VCSA appliance:
Command> shell.set --enable True
Unknown command: `shell.set'
Command> shell.set --enable true
Unknown command: `shell.set'
Command> shell
Shell access is granted to root
root@myvcsa [ ~ ]# chsh -s /bin/bash root
You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
chsh: PAM: Authentication token is no longer valid; new one required
root@myvcsa [ ~ ]# exit
logout
Command> exit
Connection to myvcsa.my.network.com closed.
Trying to SCP the fiile from another Linux host:
$ scp /Documents/VMware/Certificates//Certificate_And_Intermediate_Combined.crt root@myvcsa.my.network.com:/var/tmp/cert-temp
root@myvcsa.my.network.com's password:
Unknown command: `scp'
Yesterday when I tried this, at least the first part didn't throw back an error (shell.set --enable True), but even then it still gave me the same error.
I need to update these certs ASAP. ANy help would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: I was able to SCP the files to the VCSA using the VCSA appliance shell from the host I was trying to copy from originally. Not sure why I could not copy to the VCSA from the host.
