This is a good security practice to ensure that your credentials are protected during logins, and nobody likes to see those pesky certificate warnings in their browsers anyway, am I right?</p> <h2 id="create-and-trust-certificate-authority">Create and Trust Certificate Authority</h2> <p>This section of the blog post is to create a root certificate. In many situations, you won&rsquo;t need to do this since your organization probably already has a certificate authority that can be used to sign certificates as needed. Since I&rsquo;m doing this in a lab, I&rsquo;m going to create a root certificate and make sure my workstation trusts this cert first. After this, we can use the root certificate to sign our vSphere 7 certificates.</p>
