VMware and Wildcard Certificates
Recently I rebuilt my lab and decided to go for a wildcard certificate to get rid of those irritating security warnings. I found some nasty things happen down the line and in fact I ended up rebuilding my lab completely once again to fix the numerous problems I had which I believe was caused by using wildcard certs. Below I drew up a table of my experience:
| Feature | Use Wildcard | Comment |
| vCenter | Yes but NO | Seems to work but then you find nasty things later like the storage profile function doesn’t work |
| vCenter SSO | NO | Stops services |
| Web Client | No | Stops services |
| Log Browser | No | Stops services |
| vCAC | No | Not happy about the hostname in the cert |
| vCAC SSO | No | Not happy about the hostname in the cert |
| View | Yes | Seems OK |
| Horizon Workspace Configurator | Yes | Seems OK |
| Horizon Worksapce Gateway | Yes | Seems Ok |
