Regenerating VMware vCenter plug-in certificates

Follow the steps to regenerate vCenter plug-in certificates on the master server.

To regenerate VMware vCenter plug-in certificates

  1. List the existing certificates and identify the existing entry for invalid certificates. Run the following command:
    • Windows

      C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\wmc\bin\install\manageClientCerts.bat -list

    • UNIX

      /usr/openv/wmc/bin/install/manageClientCerts -list

  2. Delete the invalid certificate. Run the following command:
    • Windows

      C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\wmc\bin\install\manageClientCerts.bat -delete

    • UNIX

      /usr/openv/wmc/bin/install/manageClientCerts -delete

  3. Generate a new certificate. Run the following command:
    • Windows

      C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\wmc\bin\install\manageClientCerts.bat -create <master_server_name>

    • UNIX

      /usr/openv/wmc/bin/install/manageClientCerts -create <master_server_name>

  4. Register the newly created certificate with the vCenter plug-in.
