说明 & 关联博文

因为使用企业 CA 直接替换 vSphere VMCA CA 证书步骤较多且繁琐，为了内容关联性和可读性，关于第二篇自签名证书系列的博文，博主分为3篇，这是第一篇，剩余2篇会陆续发布。

本篇博文主要描述了如何在 vCenter Server 系统中使用实用工具 certificate-manager 为 VMCA 生成自签名证书需要的证书签名请求 CSR 和 Key。适用的 vSphere 版本为 vSphere 7.0.x 和 vSphere 8.0.x

1.企业 CA 签名证书替换 vSphere VMCA CA 证书Ⅰ—— 生成 CSR
2.企业 CA 签名证书替换 vSphere VMCA CA 证书Ⅱ—— 创建和添加证书模板
3.企业 CA 签名证书替换 vSphere VMCA CA 证书Ⅲ—— 颁发自签名与替换默认 VMCA 证书

1. 默认证书截图

在替换 vSphere 默认 Machine SSL证书前，我们通过 vSphere Client 确认该证书的信息。

登录 vSphere Client，Menu > Administration > Certificastes > Certificate Management，找到 VMware Certificate Authority，点击VIEW DETAILS

2. 使用 certificate-manager 生成CSR

2.1 创建存放CSR的目录

如果不创建特定目录，在后续步骤指定目录时必须要指定已存在目录，否则程序会报错。

mkdir /root/vmca

2.2 记录PNID和IP

# 获取VC PNID
/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vmafd-cli get-pnid --server-name localhost
# 获取IP地址
ip address

2.3 生成CSR
