vSphere Web Client login error: Failed to connect to VMware Lookup Service. SSL certificate verification failed (vCenter Appliance)

Si al hacer login desde el Web Client de vSphere nos encontramos con este error "Filed to connect to VMware Lookup Service https://ip:7444/lookupservice/sdk - SSL certificate verification failed.":

Nada tan sencillo como conectarnos a la consola de la VMware vCenter Server Appliance y poner en yes la opción de regenerar certificados desde la pestaña "Admin" > "Toggle certificate setting" > "Certificate regeneration enabled" > "yes":

Lanzamos un reboot desde la pestaña "System":

y ya podemos conectarnos sin problema:

...y volia!

New Veeam Plug-in for the vSphere 5.1 Web Client

Nuevo plugin de Veeam para el vSphere Web Client.... recordad que vSphere 5.1 es la ultima version que dispondra de vSphere Client , es mas, muchas funciones ya solo se pueden encontrar si nos conectamos por web al vCenter.

Adios vSphere Client. Hola vSphere Web Client.

VMware vSphere 5.1 sera la ultima version con vSphere Client. La nueva version incluye un nuevo Web Client que se convertira en el estandar de conexion para VMware apoyado en las nuevas caracteristcias de single sign-on.
