• If you want to use third-party CA-signed certificates, generate the certificate request, send it to the certificate authority, and store the certificates on each ESXi host.
• If necessary, enable the ESXi Shell or enable SSH traffic from the vSphere Web Client.
• All file transfers and other communications occur over a secure HTTPS session. The user who is used to authenticate the session must have the privilege Host.Config.AdvancedConfig on the host.

Procedure

1. Log in to the ESXi Shell, either directly from the DCUI or from an SSH client, as a user with administrator privileges.
2. In the directory /etc/vmware/ssl, rename the existing certificates using the following commands.
3. Copy the certificates that you want to use to /etc/vmware/ssl.
4. Rename the new certificate and key to rui.crt and rui.key.
5. Restart the host after you install the new certificate.
   Alternatively, you can put the host into maintenance mode, install the new certificate, use the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) to restart the management agents, and set the host to exit maintenance mode.

Your company's security policy might require that you replace the default ESXi SSL certificate with a trusted certificate on each host. You can also regenerate a self-signed certificate and key if the default certificate and key were accidentally deleted.

SSL certificates are used to vouch for the identity of the components involved in the communication and to secure communication between vSphere components.

By default, vSphere components use the self-signed certificate and key that are created during installation. Self-signed certificates are as secure as certificates that are issued by an external Certificate Authority as long as the user validates the certificate and its thumbprint when the warning dialog appears.

Replace self-signed certificates with certificates from a trusted CA, either a commercial CA or an organizational CA, if company policy requires it. Consider also replacing certificates to avoid having users get used to clicking through browser warnings. The warning might be an indication of a man-in-the-middle attack, and only inspection of the certificate and thumbprint can guard against such attacks.

You can replace the default certificates with trusted certificates in a number of ways.

If you accidentally deleted the default self-signed certificate and key or you changed the host name, you can generate a new self-signed certificate and key from the ESXi Shell. See Generate New Self-Signed Certificates for ESXi.
