This story started when i realize that my customer certificates for vCenter and other components are expired, so i generate new CSR, receveid new certificates and started to uipdate using SSL Certificate Automation tool for vCenter 5.5. Everything running smoothly until moment when i start tasks - Update the vCenter Server SSL Certificate, it's failed with next comments
[28.12.2016 - 17:59:14,15]: Last operation update vCenter Server SSL certificate failed :
[28.12.2016 - 17:59:14,16]: Cannot log in to vCenter. Please check C:\SSLCertificates\Logs\vc-update-ssl.log for more details
from log files i extract next information
[28.12.2016 - 15:09:17,40]: Validating the input parameters...
STATE : 4 RUNNING
HTTPError: Unable to open or read page.
HTTP Error 401: basic auth failed
i start deep dive to learn process and found out that this errors come from this file reloadCerts.py
thi python file trying to access URL https://localhost/mob/?moid=vpxd-securitymanager&method=reloadSslCertificate&vmodl=1 with credentials that i provided in SSL Certificate Automation tool and problem here is that my credentials didn't work. i used administrator@vsphere.local login and i able to ligin to vCenter web client using this credentials.
So, any idea about workaround or fix? we are using vCenter 5.5 Update 1 on W2k8r2
thank you
