Dumb cert issue on Chrome

by Posted on

Everyone knows website need SSL/HTTPS for more secure connections…And Google Chrome is strongly suggest to use SSL/HTTPS connection…

I recently added VMware ESXi and vCenter to my home lab; Chrome won’t allow me to access VMware ESXi and vCenter web UI because the certificate was not allowed…however, you still can manually accept the certificate through non-Chromium core browsers like Safari and FireFox…

I didn’t think about the root certificate management at beginning (as I’m mainly using macOS)…after I dug in I figured that you need to add those self-singed certificate to keychain management then accept the cert…

So dumb I am…But I’m happy because I would never know that if I didn’t play with my home lab. IT knowledge is improved as you get hands on it…Cheers!
