vCenter: retrieve SSL Thumbprint

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I've been working on a little application to backup VMs. I'm trying to use VDDK6.0.1 but have a problem with the security system: when I have to make the calls (for example disable vMotion), I need the vCenter SSL Thumbprint (x509). I have searched everywhere in the MOB of the vCenter but found nothing.

I know you can get it from the Console of the VM running as vCenter, or also from the certificate when you connect with the browser. But I need it programmatically...

Can someone help me? My vCenter version is 5.5
