In order to create a trusted root, we need to create a new file that has the root chain. In this example, I just use вЂњroot-caвЂќД¬lick Next and then click Finish. Just like before, browse to a locate to save the cert, and give it a meaningful name. Select вЂњBase-64-encoded X.509 (.CER), and Click Next Now go to вЂњIssued CertificatesвЂќ, double-click to open the certificate, go to the вЂњdetailsвЂќ tab and click the Copy to FileвЂ¦ button. Right-click on pending cert request, go to вЂњall tasksвЂќ, and select вЂњIssueвЂќ. Once you browse to the directory where you stored the вЂњvmca_issued_csr.csrвЂќ and вЂњvmca_issued_key.keyвЂќ files, you will need to change the view to вЂњAll Files (*.*)вЂќ in the lower right. Right-click the CA, select all tasks, and select Submit new request. I am using a standalone Microsoft CA I configured on my labвЂ™s jump server, and donвЂ™t have the web portal. SIGNING THE REQUEST, CREATING THE CERTIFICATE USING STANDALONE MICROSOFT CA Now using WinSCP, copy the files off to the workstation you will be using to connect the the Microsoft CA. Value for вЂEmailвЂ™ : Д®nter proper value for VMCA вЂNameвЂ™ : Д®nter option вЂњ1вЂќ to Generate Certificate signing requests Value for вЂIPAddressвЂ™ (Provide comma separated values for multiple IP addresses) : 10.0.1.28 The inputs in purple below are examples I used for my lab, and yours will be different:

In the next series of prompts, you will be required to enter information specific to your environment. IF there is no certool.cfg file or you would like to look at the file, use option вЂњYвЂќ here.

WINSCP STANDALONE PASSWORD

Hit Enter key, then input the password and hit the enter key again.

Start an SSH session with the vCenter appliance, and enter вЂњ/usr/lib/vmware-vmca/bin/certificate-managerвЂќ to launch the utility. GENERATE CERTIFICATE SIGNING REQUEST (CSR)

If you are having problems connecting to the vCenter win WinSCP, follow this KB2107727. You should validate that you can connect to yours first. We will be using WinSCP to transfer the files to and from the vCenter. We will be applying Custom Machine and Trusted Root certificates to the vCenter, and it is good practice to take a snapshot of the vCenter appliance beforehand. I have done my best to focus the steps involved, and provided those below while testing this out in my home lab. Bob Plankers does a great job explaining these modes in the following VMware Blog: vSphere 7 вЂ“ Certificate Management Installing the custom signed VMCA root certificate.Д«efore we get started, it is worthwhile to note if you were unaware that there are different certificate modes in vSphere 7.

Installing the custom signed machine SSL certificate.

Creating a trusted root chain certificate.

Signing the request, creating the certificate using a standalone Microsoft CA.

Generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for the vCenter.

In this long blog post, I will walk through: This is common, but is something I have never done myself, so I ended up testing this out in my lab.

WINSCP STANDALONE INSTALL

Recently I had a customer that wanted to install their custom certificates on a new vCenter, and have it act as an Intermediate CA to install approved certificates on their hosts.
