Hi everyone,
just set up the new vCSA 5.1 but i'm getting an error when trying to login via Web Client/Browser.
"Failed to connect to VMware Lookup Service https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7444/lookupservice/sdk - SSL certificate verification failed."
I already foudn this KB
The manual/workaround seems to be a lot of work for me and maybe this will cause some other problems in the feature because of certification problems 😕
I also think this can not be the solution for a brand new vCSAppliance... -_-
I am also not able to go to the https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9443/admin-app
is that correct for the appliance?!
You need to regenerate the certificate for Server Appliance after IP/hostname change.
Check this link: http://www.virtual-blog.com/2012/09/failed-to-connect-to-vmware-lookup-service/
Also admin/managment interface is at https://<vCSA-IP>:5480
Default credentials [root/vmware]
HTH
small update here:
it seems that just after deploying the vApp the webclient works fine. On the first boot its getting an ip adress from the dhcp server. But when i'm changing it to a static/other ip, i'm getting the ssl error...
Meanwhile the bootprocess i was able to see, that the maschine seems to try to reach the "ssl server" still on the old ip, which was used on the first boot from the dhcp.
I will try the reservate the final ip for the first start up...

Hi,
i solved the problem by reservating the final ip from the start up to the maschine...
Isnt it a security issue that the appliance is getting the same mac address everytime i'm deploying it....and so everyone who is deploying it?!

Hi,
and thanks. I discovered this too after doing it with the ip reservation "work around".
