SSL - ESXi

Installing manual certs on an ESXi server

PIKEDOM.COM has some very good instructions.

Something to know if you got your certs from certbot:

• The file you're replacing rui.crt with is either cert.pem or fullchain.pem (depending on whether you've set up with one or more than one domain in your certs.
• The file you're replacing rui.key with is either privkey.pem.
• Both of the files from certbot may have a number attached to the end of the filename itself.

So...

SSH into the server...

• cd /etc/vmware/ssl
• mv rui.crt orig.rui.crt
• mv rui.key orig.rui.key
• vi rui.crt
  • Paste in the content of fullchain.pem
• vi rui.key
  • Paste in the content of privkey.pem
• reboot
