Import the vCenter Server SSL Certificate
The Orchestrator configuration interface uses a secure connection to communicate with vCenter Server. You
can import the required SSL certificate from a URL or file.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
2 Click Network.
3 In the right pane, click the SSL Certificate tab.
4 Load the vCenter Server SSL certificate in Orchestrator from a URL address or file.
Option Action
Import from URL
Specify the URL of the vCenter Server:
https://
your_vcenter_server_IP_address
Import from file
Obtain the vCenter Server certificate file. The file is usually available at the
following locations:
n
C:\Documents and
Settings\AllUsers\ApplicationData\VMware\VMware
VirtualCenter\SSL\rui.crt
n
/etc/vmware/ssl/rui.crt
5 Click Import.
A message confirming that the import is successful appears.
6 Repeat the steps for each vCenter Server instance that you want to add to the Orchestrator server.
The imported certificate appears in the Imported SSL certificates list. On the Network tab, the red triangle
changes to a green circle to indicate that the component is now configured correctly.
What to do next
Each time you want to specify the use of an SSL connection to a vCenter Server instance, you must return to
the SSL Certificate tab on the Network tab and import the corresponding vCenter Server SSL certificate.
Configuring LDAP Settings
Orchestrator requires a connection to a working LDAP server on your infrastructure to manage user
permissions.
If you are using secure LDAP over SSL, Windows 2003 or 2008, and AD, verify that the LDAP Server Signing
Requirements group policy is disabled on the LDAP server.
