VIO 3.1 Plugin not shown in vCenter

[proniz]

I have vCenter 6.5 , ESXi 6.5D and VIO 3.1 and OVA deployment went well, but i can't see plugin in vCenter.

According to the guide i need to go to management server url ( https://ip:8443/VIO) and click fix in order to see Plugin in vCenter. , but i can't login with vCenter credentials.

OMS logs show the following

So it looks like certificate problem , but i haven't changed anything in vCenter. 

Is there any option in VIO so i can disable ssl trust check and basically allow connections to hosts with self-signed certificates ?

Any help will be appreciated.

This may help: VIO Instances fail to deploy/display compute node reporting Invalid username/password (2149857) | VM...

Changing the password could force the certificate validation as well.

Hello

Not sure where you are at but it maybe best to redeploy VIO and this time you can select the certificate ignore when entering the vcenter credentials.

We just completed a VIO deployment ( 3.1 ) and initially the plugin did not display but after restarting vcenter it appeared.

If you are going to deploy VMware VIO again, please, uninstall correctly the failing one first.

Follow KB 2146541, in order to manually remove VIO from vCenter Server:
