Enabling Certificate
Verification
You can enable
certificate verification by using variables.
The vSphere SDK for Perl and
vCLI use
Crypt::SSLEay
to support certificate verification.
Crypt::SSLEay
enables verification of certificates
signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) if you set the following two variables.
- HTTPS_CA_FILE– The CA file.
- HTTPS_CA_DIR– The CA directory.
See the
Crypt::SSLEay
documentation for details on setup.
If the two
environment variables
HTTPS_CA_FILE
and
HTTPS_CA_DIR
are set
incorrectly or if a problem with the certificate exists, vCLI commands do not
complete, and do not display error or warning messages. Use
HTTPS_DEBUG
for
troubleshooting before running vCLI commands.
