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.
Caution
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.
