So Broadcom now owns VMware and is not being so responsive with all of its customers. The word on the inter-webs is that many VMware customers are looking for a different solution. Might I suggest incus (https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/). Incus is a fork of Canonical’s LXD that is a “secure and powerful system container and virtual machine manager”.  It works on Debian, ubuntu and all the different flavors of EL (enterprise linux).

1. Go to the site ip address in a https://[ip address]:8443
2. You will be presented with the following page content, click “Create a new certificate” button.
3. On the next page, click the “Generate” button and wait for it to complete.  When it is finished a little green check mark will appear.
4. A password dialog will appear.  If you are generating a crt for use on MacOS you should enter a password as it is required.  Please use a different password than your login password.
5. Click the “Download crt” button and save the file.  This is the file that goes on the server. Transfer it to the server using scp.  Log into the server and issue the following command:  incus config trust add-certificate [/full/path/to/filename.crt]
6. Now click the “Download pfx” button and save the file.  This is the certificate that you will install system-wide on your Mac.

8. In Keychain Access make sure you have “login” selected on the left and “My Certificates” selected along the top.
9. Now drag the pfx file into the blank file area .  It will ask if you want to add the certificate, click “Add”.  It will then ask you to enter the password for the certificate you generated, do so and click “OK”.  Now close the Keychain Access app.
10. Quit your browser and relaunch it.  Go to https://[ip address]:8443
11. You will be prompted to select a certificate, there may only be one, but confirm it is the correct one with the ip address listed in the cert.
12. You will be prompted for a password, this is your mac’s login password.  Click the “Always Accept” button to not be prompted again.

Why is it that every time I see a commercial for a handyman app where the person is having a little trouble getting their toilet to flush properly, my memories gush forth with a singular vision of a little man in a boat floating in the toilet tank.  The most disturbing part is that I am left with no satisfaction.  My comical vision of the next scene with the man rowing is completely flushed away.
