Cannot access the vCenter Server Managed Object Browser (MOB) at https://vCenterFQDN/mob/ The browser reports the error: 503 Service Unavailable Note: The VMware VirtualCenter Server service and other related services are up and running. Replacing the SSL certificates of the vCenter Server using the SSL Automation Tool 1.0.x or 5.5.x fails with the error: [Tue 01/28/2014 - 11:07:13.83]: Validating the input parameters... STATE : 4 RUNNING HTTPError: Unable to open or read page. HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable [Tue 01/28/2014 - 11:07:14.77]: "Cannot log in to vCenter." [Tue 01/28/2014 - 11:07:14.78]: The vCenter certificate update failed.
The issue occurs if the <enableDebugBrowse> parameter in the vpxd.cfg config file is set to false. For example: <vpxd> ... ... <enableDebugBrowse>false</enableDebugBrowse> ... ... </vpxd> Note: This is described in the VMware Security Hardening Guide as a means to disable access to the MOB.
To resolve this issue: In vCenter Server, open the vpxd.cfg config file using a text editor.Note: By default, the vpxd.cfg file is located at %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter. In Windows Server 2008, the vpxd.cfg file is, by default, located at C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter. Locate the <enableDebugBrowse> entry within the file. Either remove the entry or change the value from false to true.For example:<vpxd> ... ... <enableDebugBrowse>false</enableDebugBrowse> ... ... </vpxd> Restart the vCenter Server services for the changes to take effect.
