I get this error when try to launch the VMware Vsphere web client:
HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error
Access your vcenter CLI and check the validity of the security certificates, especially the SSL certificate. Run the command below as root to check the security certificates: # for store in $(/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli store list | grep -v TRUSTED_ROOT_CRLS); do echo “[*] Store :” $store; /usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli entry list –store $store –text | grep -ie “Alias” -ie “Not After”;done;
or
# for i in $(/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli store list); do echo STORE $i; /usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli entry list –store $i –text | egrep “Alias|Not After”; done
