This article has no instructions on how to install certificates on Linux machines: VMware Knowledge Base
I downloaded the vCenter certificates to Ubuntu.
First I tried to move the certificate “dbad4059.0.crt” from window folder to

usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ and run the command: sudo update-ca-certificates

it did not work.

After I moved, the certificate from lin folder to usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ and run the command: sudo update-ca-certificates

Also with no success.

 

Please advice me what should I do to install vCenter certificates on Ubuntu machine.

 

Thank you.
