Certificate replacement of any components is not supported in VMware Cloud Foundation 2.1

Products

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
After configuring custom certificates, you experience these symptoms:

• In the /home/vrack/vrm/logs/evosddc-debug.log file, you see entries similar to:

Caused by: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.client.exception.SslException: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.CertificateValidationException: Server certificate chain not verified

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 2.1.x

Cause

The issue occurs because the SDDC Manager processes running on the VRM virtual machine cannot successfully connect to other components of the VMware Cloud Foundation environment as the expected certificate does not match the actual certificate.

Resolution

The issue is resolved in version 2.2.x, avialable at VMware Downloads.
