I am trying to manage Vmware VirtualCenter with System Center Virtual Machine Manager and am noticing that the certificate that Vmware includes with VirtualCenter is expired as of 3/1/2007. &nbsp;This is also causing a startup warning on the Vmware Infrastructure Client.<br />
<br />
How do I replace this certificate with one that is not expired? &nbsp;I am not going to go purchase my own cert for this. &nbsp;Is there a place where I can download a new cert or generate one on my own?<br />
<br />
I would've thought that upgrading to the latest version of VirtualCenter would have included a new certificate.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance...

How do I replace an expired certificate that Vmware includes with VirtualCenter with a new one from Vmware?

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.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
