Error when trying a node in maintenance mode

This is the error I get when I try to put any host into maintenance. I understand that this started happening when they updated the certificate.

The strange thing is that in the certificates section, I don't see the new one. And when I try to import it it tells me that it already exists.

This is in a productive environment. Any Suggestions?

Which version of vCenter are you running as people have also resolved this issue by upgrading to a later version?
