• Logging into the Unified Appliance (UA) does not encounter the same issue. The UA is the standard NSX-T manager appliance, not the CSM manager.

Environment

VMware NSX-T

Cause

There was an issue when populating the trusted CA configurations on the CSM managers.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in VMware NSX 4.0.1.1 available at VMware Downloads.

When the browser asks to select a certificate to continue logging onto the system, click cancel, instead of attempting to select a certificate.
Then proceed to login normally and you should not get presented with this message now.
