Problem:
You get an error when trying you load your vCenter homepage:
Privacy error: Your connection is not private (NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID) when opening VMware vCenter
Solution:
To fix this in Chrome:
1. Navigate to chrome://net-internals/#hsts
This is Chrome’s UI for managing your browser’s local HSTS settings.
2. First, to confirm the domain’s HSTS settings are recorded by Chrome, type the hostname into the Query Domain section at the bottom of the page. Click Query. If the Query box returns Found with settings information below, the domain’s HSTS settings are saved in your browser.
3. Type the same hostname (for example vcenter1.domain.com) into the Delete domain section and click
Your browser will no longer force an HTTPS connection for that site. You can test if its working properly by refreshing or navigating to the page.
