I am posting this so that it may help someone out in the future as I worked on this for 2 weeks.
I was trying to get SSL using a certificate from my CA working for my VMAN instance. I followed the instructions provided at the following link.
Add an SSL certificate to Virtualization Manager - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support
After trying several different things I still could not get the certificate to be recognized. The steps provided no errors, but my browser still stated that the certificate was not trusted. I opened a ticket with support but they stated that they could not help as it was not a problem with VMAN itself.
Upon inspection of the details, I noticed that the certificate that the browser was pulling had an expiration date of March 2017, while the actual certificate has an expiration of December 2018.
I then took a look at the detail of the keystore using the command keytool -list. When I listed the certificates using -keystore mykeystore, I was provided with a certificate that showed it was a "trustedCertEntry". However, when I used -keystore /etc/hyper9/mykeystore, I was provided with a certificate PrivateKeyEntry. See attached screenshot.
So, I changed step 15 to the following:
./keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore /etc/hyper9/mykeystore -trustcacerts -file chain_certificate_filename
This uploaded the certificate to the correct location.
