Resolution

Workaround:

Before following the steps below, make sure to take a snapshot of the virtual appliance(s)

1. SSH to VMware Identity Manager Appliance(s) using root credentials. Change the directory to the location /usr/local/horizon/conf  and check  i file is this blank or not.
   
   
2. Check non-working vIDM Node if idm-cacerts is blank/corrupted.  

3. If the file is  blank/corrupted then Back up the current file by running the command:
   
mv idm-cacerts idm-cacerts.backup

4.  Then copy the file from working node to non-working node with following command
   
   scp  idm-cacerts <root@vidm-node>:/usr/local/horizon/conf/
   
   
5. Verify on non-working vIDM Node if idm-cacerts is copied correctly
   
   

6. Change the owner of the idm-cacerts to horizon:www and change the permission of the file by running the command:
   
   chown horizon:www idm-cacerts 
chmod 777  idm-cacerts 
   
   

7. Start vIDM/Workspace service by running the command:
   service horizon-workspace start
   
   

8. Start OpenSearch service by running the command:
   /etc/init.d/opensearch start
