As your post needs moving to the area for vCenter Server, I have reported it to the volunteer moderators.

5.1 I don't even know if it is supported anymore. I can say with 100% certainty, it was the most difficult version to get SSL certs working on. 

I would open a support case as you can very likely brick things.  I recall we bricked our 5.1 vCenter host. Those were fun times (not)

Hi,


Not that I understood much from the post, but if the topic of the post refers to the vCenter 5.1 object, it's better to say right away that general support ceased in August last 2016 and as far as I remember, letting the certificates expire ended with becoming a "real mess".

Vcenter 5.1 wow, that is old, there would be no paid support for this, but what error are you getting? it could be you are using the wrong format for the cert?
