vCenter

Is there anyway to get certifcate manager to generate new certs longer than 2 years? We just ran Option 8 - Reset All Certificates on a embedded vCenter and it only renewed for 2 years.

Hi,

Which version of VMware are you using?

VMware Knowledge Base

Expires every 10 years from version 6.x up (see attachment on page 71 for 6.0 and 83 for 6.7)

ARomeo

6.7 U3g

ok! therefore it must expire every 10 years. Try repeating the procedure following the manual I added in the previous answer.

ARomeo

So it looks like the root renewed for 10 years but not the machine or vsphere-client certificate. It did for 2 years. Anyway to renew those 2 for 10 years?

I'm just searching the same, but the other direction, because what happens in a few months, when Chrome reports certificate errors when a certificate is created after september 1st and is valid longer than 398 days?

ESXi host certificates are created with a 5 year certificate, this i can configure:

vpxd.certmgmt.certs.daysValid

But the machine certificate will be issued with 2 years, here i didn't found a way to configure this.
