  Unable to read vRA certificate configuration for 'lb': Missing certificate configuration for lb
  

Environment

VMware vRealize Automation 8.4.x

Cause

This issue occurs when two json objects are found during the register_vro_endpoint.sh endpoint fetching process.

In vRA 8.1, it was possible to add the embedded vRO multiple times from the user interface.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in VMware vRealize Automation 8.2.

Workaround:

1. Login to https://vRSLCMFQDN/lcm/cms/endpoints/manage/list
2. Isolate the entries that are duplicate with the same endpoint name and FQDN.
3. Choose the entry that is in a Warning / Error state.
4. Select the ellipsis for the chosen endpoint.
5. Select Delete.
6. Re-attempt the upgrade.

Note: This workaround can be applied to more than one duplication if necessary.
Note: If necessary, all endpoints can be removed and recreated.
