Replacing vSphere 6.0 certificates with Custom CA Certs

Good morning,


We are in the process of updating our Certs in our vSphere 6 environment using custom CA certs.

I have followed KB  https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=...

Upon replacing the certs vCenter service, etc restarts as expected however when trying to log in as a domain user we get an error "A general system error occurred".  When trying to log in as administrator@vsphere.local it says invalid username or password even though it is the correct details.


As far as I can see all certs and naming of them looks ok.  If we replace the machine certs using option 1 via certificate manager we can still access our vCenter.  However when choosing option 5 and doing all the other certs this is when we get an issue.

Has anyone had similar issues? Thanks.

Where is your PSC?

External or embedded?

Did you already replace the cert(s) on your PSC/vCenter(s)?
