Hi,<br />
<br />
When signing on to vSphere Web Client, I get the big warning message indicating that the SSL Certificate is not trusted. &nbsp;I can click &quot;Trust or Proceed&quot; to then be able to log into the vSphere Web Client. &nbsp;I have a self signed certificate that I would like to import into vCenter so that I dont get that warning message anymore. &nbsp;The vCenter Server is 5.1 Update 1c installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM.<br />
<br />
I've tried doing some research but havent found the correct way to do this.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
