When importing a key from the WebServices server, when attempting to start the Agent it fails with the above error message.

If the Agent is started with an empty keystore, it starts successfully. 

Cause:

Cause type:
Configuration
Root Cause: The entire chain of certificates has not been imported.

Environment:

Release: AOMVMW99000-4.0-Automic-Operations Manager-VMware vCenter Agent
Component:

Resolution:

The entire chain of certificates needs to be imported:

  1. Root Key
  2. Intermediate Key
  3. Host Key
  4. Private Key
If the server where the WebService REST Agent is connecting to is only given one certificate, the Agent will fail.  Once the entire chain of certificates are provided, the Agent can be started.
