Good morning,

on my Proxmox 5.2 cluster, following the guide at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/HTTPS_Certificate_Configuration_(Version_4.x_and_newer) I replaced the certificates for the Web GUI with my own CA's certificates.
But I'm actually unable to start the VMs.

The error I get is:
Code: 
kvm: -vnc unix:/var/run/qemu-server/115.vnc,x509,password: Failed to start VNC server: Our own certificate /etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.pem failed validation against /etc/pve/pve-root-ca.pem: The certificate hasn't got a known issuer

I've seen other topics about this issue but I don't seem to find the correct solution.

Now the guide says to use the fullchain.pem without the root CA.
I don't have any sub CA so the fullchain.pem in this case should only be composed by the certificate itself, correct?
Or do I need to also to remove or replace the /etc/pve/pve-root-ca.pem with my own root CA?

Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards
 
Good morning again,

afrer re-reading some topics I managed to solve the issue.
The guide correctly says to copy the key and pem files to a directory but, not finding the certificates already there I thought that the names were mistaken on the guide, so moved my certificate to /etc/pve/nodes/<node>/pve-ssl.pem and key instead of pveproxy-ssl.pem.

My mistake for not following the guide as it was written.

Thank you very much and best regards
