The Orchestrator configuration interface uses a secure connection to communicate with vCenter Server, relational database management system
(RDBMS), LDAP, vCenter Single Sign On, or other servers. You can import the required SSL certificate from a URL or file.
You can import the vCenter Server SSL certificate from the SSL Trust Manager tab in the Orchestrator configuration interface.
Procedure
1 | Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware. |
2 | Click Network. |
3 | In the right pane, click the SSL Trust Manager tab. |
4 | Load the vCenter Server SSL certificate in Orchestrator from a URL address or file.

Import from URL
|
Specify the URL of the vCenter Server:
https://your_vcenter_server_IP_address or your_vcenter_server_IP_address:port
|
|
Import from file
|
Obtain the vCenter Server certificate file. The file is usually available at the following locations:
■
|
C:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\ApplicationData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL\rui.crt
|
■
|
/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 SSL Trust Manager on the Network tab and import the corresponding vCenter Server SSL certificate.
