How I can copy SSL Thumbprint (SHA1) information from iLo console to my SpreadSheet.

Too many ESX i hosts exist in my environment wehre I'm working and now I'm asked to make a spreadsheet with SSL thumbprint info of all ESX i host.

for every host I have to open iLo console and make a note of all those manually like

this is really time consuing and i'm sure wehther I'm entering correct values in spreadsheet.

Is there any way please let me know.  Thanks in Advance.

You can enable the ssh shell, and loop through each host with a script.

Thank you..

and where I can find the script, I'm really new to scripting.  I'm not sure whether I can do it..

any other alternate or 3rd party tool ....

Check out lamw's healthcheck script.  It will report on a myriad of items, including the host ssl thumbprint.

Take a look at this article for a few options, including a script to help you collect this from a centralized location - http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/04/extracting-ssl-thumbprint-from-esxi.html

There's a few ways to get this information depending on your configuration.

1) As already mentioned, if you have SSH access to your ESXi host, you can login and run the following command:

openssl x509 -in /etc/vmware/ssl/rui.crt -fingerprint -sha1 -noout

2) You can also get this "remotely" by connecting to the host (no creds required) to get the cert and to get the thumbprint using openssl, this of course assumes your host is on the network and reachable:

echo "" | openssl s_client -connect 172.30.0.252:443 > /tmp/cert

openssl x509 -in /tmp/cert -fingerprint -sha1 -noout

3) If the hosts are already connected to vCenter, you can easily obtain the thumbprint by just going to vCenter using a script querying the vSphere API
