Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
  • After upgrading Aria Automation (formerly vRealize Automation) or Aria Automation Orchestrator (formerly vRealize Orchestrator) to 8.9.1 or later and/or replacing a certificate of an Orchestrator plug-in the integration stops working.
  • Possible errors in /services-logs/prelude/vco-app/file-logs/vco-server-app.log
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
com.vmware.hms.o11n.exception.HmsException: Failed to authenticate to VC server.
Caused by: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.client.exception.SslException: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.CertificateValidationException


Environment

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator 8.x
VMware vRealize Orchestrator 8.9.x

Cause

The Local Keystore has been deprecated beginning with vRealize Orchestrator (vRO) 7.x and was removed in versions 8.9.1. Old plug-ins may be using the Local Filesystem Keystore instead of the API provided by the vRO plugin SDK. This improvement provides better performance and synchronization between nodes.

Resolution

See the Workaround below for additional information.

Workaround:

Prerequisites

  • Please take simultaneous non-memory snapshots of each virtual appliance(s) in the cluster.
  • You have access to root user and password
  • You have SSH or console access to each virtual appliance.

Procedure

  1. SSH / PuTTy into one virtual appliance in the cluster
  2. Run the following command to synchronize the Local Keystore with vRO
    vracli cluster exec -- bash -c 'base64 -d <<< "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" | bash -'
