Dear all,
because of a mistake during configuration our vcenter URL for the web client was not working, and today I looked to get it fixed. There are several resources out there how to change FQDN in vcenter, but this did not really work well, especially re-registering with the Inventory Service failed all the time. So, we decided to kill SSO, Inventory service and web client and reinstall all things...
SSO, Inventory and web client seem to work again, as I can login via the web client to manage SSO and I can see the registrations there. Following the VM howto about how to re-register (repoint) vcenter, I came to a success message with the sso cmdline tool, but then when the server starts, it fails with the certificates still:

So the question is, what is going wrong and can I fix this somehow without reinstalling vcenter completly?
kind regards Florian
