Replacing Update Manager V4.1 SSL Certificates

[SCampbell1]

Hi there,

In November 2009, Derek Seaman posted a blog about replacing the default SSL VUM 4.0 certificates with signed SSL certificates. http://derek858.blogspot.com/2009/11/vcenter-update-manager-40-ssl.html

The process seems pretty cumbersome (install VUM, replace the certs, uninstall VUM, install VUM, turn around three times clockwise at a full moon, cross your fingers).

Thanks to Derek for the post and the comments after that post. Very useful.

Does anyone know/tested to see whether the process is a little more streamlined this time?

Also are there any plans by VMware to include VUM in the vSphere Security Hardening Guide/vCenter Certificate guides?

Thanks all

scampbell, thanks for the kind words. Now that 4.1 U1 is out, the procedure is slightly easlier. It's still more cumbersome that it should be.
