If you have previously generated an SSL that is valid, the script should detect it and provide the option to reuse it. Optional Step – Use Previously Generated SSL After this operation completes, the services using the certificate will be restarted for the new certificate to take effect. Once your domain ownership is confirmed, the certificates will be generated, converted and installed directly to your vCenter using the Rest API. Press any key to continue and the 2 minute sleep timer will start, waiting for DNS to propagate. When prompted, you will need to create the following TXT record on DNS provider.Īlternatively, you can automate the DNS Challenge Validation to by using one of the many supported plugins found here on Ryan Bolger’s Github repository. This is really the only manual step that’s required.

Highly recommended to take a snapshot or backup of your vCenter server.ĭownload the script but, before running it, update the parameters at the top of the script.vCenter account with administrator privileges.Ability to create a DNS TXT record to validate domain ownership.The script requires internet access to generate the certificate.Download my Install-vCenterSSL.ps1 Script, can be found on my Github page here.I decided to develop this easy-to-use PowerShell script Install-vCenterSSL.ps1 which generates certificates and then formats and replaces the default certificate directly to a vCenter server with minimal effort. I recently started to look into generating the free SSL using an ACME client and stumbled across this PowerShell module Posh-ACME (Credit to Ryan Bolger – for this module).
In the past, I’ve posted some guides for replacing the default self-signed vCenter certificate with a free, trusted Let’s Encrypt 90 Day certificate.
