A VMware colleague shared with me these VMware Knowledge Base articles: "Creating certificate requests and certificates for vCenter Server 5.1 components (2037432)" at URL http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2037432 "Creating certificate requests and certificates for vCenter Server 5.5 components (2061934)" at URL http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2061934 Both include well written, documented OpenSSL examples for generating VMware certificates. The OpenSSL basics are applicable to any task and therefore good references for anyone. Tips found during my quick review of the above include: vSphere 5.x does not support wild card certificates vSphere 5.x requires using OpenSSL Version 0.9.8 Create OpenSSL configuration files for each service Verify that all parameters in the OpenSSL configuration files are properly set in the request and certificate Your feedback is needed!
