Installing the ESX Web Services Certificate on the Agent Proxy Machine
You must be logged into the Agent Proxy machine to perform this step. ESX and VirtualCenter come out-
of-the-box with a self-signed certificate. If you are using this certificate, use the following procedure to
install the ESX/vSphere Server or VirtualCenter (for ESX 2.5 only) Web Service Certificate on the Agent
Proxy machine. You must use a pre-trusted certificate to collect data from the Virtual Infrastructure (VI)
Web Services interface. As stated above, to collect from ESX 2.5 Servers, VCM collects data for those ESX
2.5 Servers from VirtualCenter 2.0. However, the VirtualCenter 2.0 out-of-the-box, self-signed certificate is
invalid and will not work, even if it has been pre-trusted. In this case, you need to install a valid certificate
in order to collect. If you have a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) in place or already trust your ESX or
VirtualCenter Server machine’s certificate by other means, this step is not necessary. For more
information on VMware’s recommendations on certificate management, refer to VMware’s technical note
about replacing certificates, located online at:
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi_vcserver_certificates.pdf .
VMware assumes that you are using https for Web Services communication for VI Client/vCenter Client
and VirtualCenter/vCenter Server. If you are using http instead, call VMware Customer Support for
assistance. By default, collections will fail if a certificate error exists. If the certificate fails, a security error
message appears. For assistance, call VMware Customer Support.
