How to import SSL Certificate in ESXi

By default ESXi Uses a Self signed certificate which is of course not secured.
In this tutorial, I've shared the steps, how to generate a CSR in ESXi & request the Internal Certificate Authority to generate a SSL Certificate. 

Just a correction in this Demo - when you would generate a FQDN based request from ESXi - the CSR would not have the IP Address added in the SAN, hence browser's wouldn't recognize the certificate & throw an error that the Site is not secured etc. 

What you can do is create a .pfx Certificate which will allow you to fully customize the Certificate - add SAN of your choice. You can mention the IP Address under SAN & then get it converted to a .pem file using OpenSSL. 

Request you to share your valuable feedback which can help me to improve.
