To remove the old Certificates from the Trusted Root you may want to follow the next steps:

  1. Backup the PSC and the vCenter Server
  2. Get the list of the current TRUSTED_ROOTS in use
    1. Check the Certificates in the vecs on the PSC and VCSA

for store in $(/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli store list | grep -v TRUSTED_ROOT_CRLS); do echo "[*] Store :" $store;\

  /usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli entry list --store $store --text | grep -ie -ie "Alias" "Subject" -ie "Issuer"; \

done;

  1. Export the Certificates not in use form the TRUSTED_ROOTS on the PSC

/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli entry getcert --store TRUSTED_ROOTS --alias "alias from the vecs entry" --output /tmp/"filename"

  1. Unpublish the Certificates from the vmdir on the PSC

/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/dir-cli trustedcert unpublish --cert <file> --login <admin_user_id> --password <admin_password>

  1. Use the Alias from the unused Certificates to delete the CRL on the PSC

/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli entry delete --store TRUSTED_ROOT_CRLS -y --alias "alias from the vecs entry"

  1. Force a vecs sync on all nodes

/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli force-refresh
