Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
  • Attempting to register VMware vShield Manager or NSX Manager to the vCenter Server 6.0 SSO Lookup Service fails.
  • You see the error:

    SSL certificate of the STS service cannot be verified


Environment

VMware vCloud Networking and Security 5.5.x
VMware NSX for vSphere 6.2.x
VMware NSX for vSphere 6.1.x
VMware vShield Manager 5.1.x

Cause

This issue occurs because the vCenter Server 6.0 SSO Lookup Service is unified behind the port 443 instead of port 7444.
 
Note: If you have upgraded from vCenter Server 5.5 to 6.0, you must continue to use port 7444.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, modify the Lookup Service port from 7444 to 443 in VMware vShield Manager or NSX Manager.

To modify the Lookup Service port in vShield Manager or NSX Manager:
  1. Log in to the web UI for vShield Manager.
  2. Click Settings & Reports in the left pane.
  3. Navigate to the Configuration section.
  4. Modify the Lookup service port from 7444 to 443.
