Using SSL certificates for VMware vSphere Components

Streaming the certificate replacement and management process in a VMware environment can be challenging at times. For instance, changing certificates for a vCenter 5.1 is a hugely laborious process. And in a typical environment where there are a large number of hosts running, tracking and managing their certificates is difficult and time consuming. More importantly, security breaches due to lapsed certificates can prove to be very expensive to the organization. vCert Manager from VSS Labs provides fully automated management of SSL Certificates in a VMware environment across the entire lifecycle.

VSS Labs has solution to simplify SSL management. For more info look at http://vsslabs.com/vCert.html

To be honest I had no chance to test it because I avoid signed SSL certificates if possible. However when I'll have a customer who requires SSL I definitely have to evaluate VSS Labs solution.
