Today I want to
post a resolution for the certification import process of vCloud Director.
Most of the
time it runs smoothly, you can follow KB1026309 and you will have no problems at
all.
But sometimes
you stumble with a weird issue that takes some time to figure out what went wrong.
I went into one
of these situations past week. Then I was wondering why not share with you guys
and maybe save some precious minutes of your time.
Let’s clarify a
little bit the scenario.
I was
implementing a vCloud solution on a client.
The client
requested a wildcard certificate from it’s Certificate Authority company. He
then sent me back the root, intermediate and wildcard certificates.
As I always do,
I took the individual codes and saved them as .CER.
Copied them to
the cell and started the import process.
No problem with
ROOT and Intermediate certificates, but when I tried to import the wildcard
certificate I got the error:
Keytool error:
java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate
After some troubleshoot
I realize there was a space after each end of line on my file.
After I deleted
the space the import process was successfully.
I can only
imagine there was something wrong with the format of the file when I saved it.
I hope you
don’t cross this issue, but in case you do here’s how to fix it ; )
