We implement the certificate on vcenter followed by KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&e... , when doing the step 5 - step 9:
5.Copy the new certificate files into the above folder. If you are following this resolution path, the proper certificate is in c:\certs\vCenter.
6.Open rui.crt in a text editor and validate that the first line of the file begins with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----. If there is any text prior to this, remove it. The code that validates the certificate may fail in Step 5 if there is additional text.
7.Go to https://localhost/mob/?moid=vpxd-securitymanager&vmodl=1 on the vCenter Server and load the certificates for the configuration by using the Managed Object Browser.
8.Click continue if you are prompted with a certificate warning.
9.Enter a vCenter Server administrator username and password when prompted.
10.Click reloadSslCertificate.
11.Click Invoke Method. If successful, the window shows this message: Method Invocation Result: void
After click invoke mthod, it is not successful, it got below error message:
Method Invocation Result: vpx.fault.SecurityConfigFault
Name | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
dynamicType | string | Unset |
dynamicProperty | vmodl.DynamicProperty[] | Unset |
faultCause | vmodl.MethodFault | Unset |
faultMessage | vmodl.LocalizableMessage[] | Unset |
anyone had the same issue? we had implemented the certificate on SSO and inventory service sucessfully, SSO and vCenter are on different servers.
Have a read of the excelent blog post by Michael Webster @nzvcdx001 on Managing Certs and vSphere 5.1

Hi,
I think you have not replaced the default certificate with your signed certificate from all the required location in vCenter server. Also very important point is while generating certificate, have your followed instruction from KB article
