Hi
I have 2 vCenter 5.5 servers and both of them have custom CA based certificates (witch I deployed with SSL Certificate Automation Tool).
Also I did certificate requests with same tool and now my one vCenter certificate has OU value "vCenterServer-hostname1" and other vCenter Certicate OU has value "vCenterServer-hostname2"
Now I'm trying to setup SRM and I'm reading a document: VMware KB: Requirements when using trusted certificates with VMware Site Recovery Manager 1.0.x/4.0.x/4.1.x/5.x
In this document are described requirements for SRM certificates and two of them are:
- An Organizational Unit (OU) attribute, whose value must be the same as the value of this attribute in the supporting vCenter Server’s certificate.
Am I correct that I must create a certificate for first SRM instance with "OU = vCenterServer-hostname1" parameter and for second instance with "OU = vCenterServer-hostname1" parameter?
- All OU values for vCenter and SRM certificates must match, to be copacetic with the OUs in the environment.
Now I dont't understand. If my vCenter servers certificates have different OU values is it possible to set SRM certificates at all?
Or must I create a new vCenter servers certificates with same OU values?
Best Regards,
