vSphere SSL certificates
In vSphere 6.0, you can implement and replace the SSL certificates in a much easier way compared to older versions. VMware has modified the vSphere SSL architecture to simplify the overall SSL certificate management process.

SAML is described as an XML standard that allows secured web domains to the exchange user information, for example, user authentication and authorization data. A reverse HTTP proxy is used to provide certificate information to different vSphere services. vSphere 6.0 has introduced the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) to deploy SSL certificates to vSphere hosts, vCenter Server, vCenter Single Sign-on service, and other services. The vSphere Certificate Manager, which is a command line utility, can be used to replace or add the certificates. You can also replace the certificates manually...
