Download and Install the
Certificate

You can download the
root certificate by using a Web browser and add it to the trusted certificates on the machine where you plan to run ESXCLI commands.
  1. Enter the URL of the
    system or
    into a Web browser.
  2. Click the
    Download trusted root certificates
     link.
  3. Change the extension of the downloaded file to .zip. (The file is a ZIP file of all certificates in the TRUSTED_ROOTS store).
  4. Extract the ZIP file.
    A certificates folder is extracted. The folder includes files with the extension .0. .1, and so on, which are certificates, and files with the extension .r0, r1, and so on which are CRL files associated with the certificates.
  5. Add the trusted root certificates to the list of trusted roots.
    The process differs depending on the platform that you are on.
You can now run ESXCLI commands against any host that is managed by the trusted
system without supplying additional information if you specify the
system in the
--server
 option and the
host in the
--vihost
 option.
