Locate an attribute pae-SVIURL edit this attribute and put the name found when viewing the Composer certificate.

Right-click on chose properties on the object within VirtualCenter.

Expand OU=Properties then the OU=VirtualCenter.

Connection Point: dc=vdi,dc=vmware,dc=int.

On the View Connection Server, Start -> run -> adsiedit.msc.

So the only way to do it is to open the ADAM database of the connection server and look for that property:

sviconfig -operation=ReplaceCertificate -delete=falseĪfter checking this, I noticed that the Composer certificate was issued using the NETBIOS name of the vCenter Server, where on the View Connection Server the the Composer was pointing to the IP address of the vCenter Server and this seemed to be the issue.

Open CMD and change directory to the Composer installation directory.

I went to the VDM logs and got some output regarding the certificate as well but couldn’t find anything helpful when I Googled for those entries, after brain storming a bit I went to the Composer’s SVI command line utility to check the certificate: When I went back to the View administration dashboard to re-validate the Composer certificate, the error “There was an error identifying the validity of the server” pops and in the event viewer you can see a BROKER_SVI_CERT_INVALID event.

Now that the connection server is okay with the new vCenter, I installed Composer on the vCenter Server and created an ODBC to point to the old Composer database, all went well from here.

The environment was configured for VMware Horizon View as well, so I went back to the View administration console and re-validated the vCenter Server certificate and well went well (luckily). So I created a new vCenter Server (same IP address just a different name), and did the rest of the configuration accordingly. I had an issue where vCenter Server service suddenly stopped and wouldn’t start and after a lot of log reading I came to a decision to create a new one as the issue didn’t bare even the time to open a case with support to tackle it.
