=== Regenerate Certificate ===
You might need to regenerate certificates if
* Change ESX host name
* Accidentally delete the certificates
To generate new Certificates for the ESX Server host...
# Change directories to /etc/vmware/ssl.
# Create backups of any existing certificates:
#* <code> mv rui.crt orig.rui.crt </code>
#* <code> mv rui.key orig.rui.key </code>
# Rstart the vmware-hostd process:
#* <code> service mgmt-vmware restart </code>
# Confirm that the ESX Server host generated new certificates by executing the following command comparing the time stamps of the new certificate files with orig.rui.crt and orig.rui.key
#* <code> ls -la </code>
