How to allow Shell and SCP access in vCenter 6 Appliance

required files
NEED. hostname.cer
NEED. hostname.key
NEED. Intermediate.cer or root.cer

#ssh to vcenter server
You have to then browse to the shell
Enable BASH access: “shell.set –enabled True”
Launch BASH: “shell”

#launch applicaiton
/usr/lib/vmware-vmca/bin/certificate-manager

choose option 1

#provide admin login
adminsitrator@puretest.local

choose option 2
Import a custom certificates to replace existing ssl cert.

#enter key path for hostname.cer
/tmp/cer/cert_wildcard/ssl_certificate.crt

#enter key path for your hostname.key
/tmp/cer/4096/puretec.key

#enter key path for your intermediate/root

/tmp/cer/cert_wildcard/IntermediateCA.crt
#process takes a few minutes to import.

It will then restart the vpxd services which can take up to 15-20 minutes to execute.
