Please follow this guide on page 4 to disable the SSL certificate checking:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

[sneha.irali]

Mentioned steps are already performed, and thats why we were able to add at least 2 hosts I believe:

Additional Steps For RHEL/CentOS 8 and Debian 10
Run the following command to fix an SDK issue:
mv /usr/bin/six.pyc /usr/bin/six.pyc.bak
Update the following file : /usr/share/perl5/VMware/VICommon.pm (El 8) or /usr/share/perl/<perl version
number>VMware/VICommon.pm (Debian 10)
Change this line:
#To remove SSL Warning, switching from IO::Socket::SSL to Net::SSL
# $ENV{PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS} = "Net::SSL";
To the below to fix an issue with invalid certificates:
#To remove SSL Warning, switching from IO::Socket::SSL to Net::SSL
$ENV{PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS} = "Net::SSL";
Now that the VMware SDK is installed, you can proceed to run the VMware wizard.
