=== Certificates === | |||
A regular irritation is the certificate warnings that pop-up whenever you connect to a Virtual Centre. To completely fix you need update the default, out of the box, self-signed certificates that are created during the install with proper certs that can be tracked back to a fully trusted root (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi_vcserver_certificates.pdf for further info). | |||
To install a VC's certificate on your client machine (or any machine you want to run PowerCLI from and avoid the warnings)... | |||
# Map a drive, or do whatever so you can access the VC's cert from the client machine | |||
#* Default location on Win2k3: <code>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL\rui.crt</code> | |||
#* Default location on Win2k8: <code>C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL\rui.crt</code> | |||
# On the client machine, start the Certificate Manager (run <code> certmgr.msc </code>) | |||
# Right-click over '''Trusted Root Certificate Authorities''', and click '''All Tasks > Import...''' | |||
# Use the wizard to add the certificate | |||
# Once added, go to the certificate's '''Properties''' and put your VC's hostname in the '''Friendly Name''' field | |||
