Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

• On checking vRLCM you see log snippet as below  /var/log/vrlcm/vmware_vrlcm.log 
  • ValueError: Country name must be a 2-character country code.
• On verifying the vIDM certificate you see that the country code is not exactly two characters as required. 

Environment

• VMware Aria Automation 8.x
• VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.x

Cause

• Two character country codes are a requirement for SSL certificates. https://www.digicert.com/kb/ssl-certificate-country-codes.htm

Resolution

• Generate and apply a new certificate to vIDM with a 2-character country code.
• Retry the failed LCM request for Aria Automation deployment.

This should now succeed without issue.
