How to fix vRealize Orchestrator 6 appliance, weak ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key
I’ve recently deployed the vRealize Orchestrator appliance (6.0.2) and noticed right away that my default browser Firefox, would not load the Orchestrator appliance web panel. Firefox always complained about a weak Diffie-Hellman key.
“An error occurred during a connection to ip-address:8281. SSL received a weak ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key in Server Key Exchange handshake message. (Error code: ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key)”
At the time I simply ignored it and just tried Google Chrome which it worked fine. That was until the latest release also broke with the same type of error message:
“Server has a weak ephemeral Diffie-Hellman public key“.
I now had a problem and contacted VMware support, below is the very easy fix to make vCO 6 work in both the latest version of Firefox and Chrome!

Easy ESXi 5.5 upgrade via command line
ESXi 5.5 was just released general availability (GA) on Sunday (9/22) and I’m itching to upgrade the home lab to run the latest version with all it’s goodies. I wanted to try upgrading my hosts without having to go through the same process that I followed setting up ESXi on the NUC in the first place, injecting custom NIC drivers, etc.
Enter the command line…
- Move all VM’s from the host and then put the host into Maintenance Mode.
- Go to the Configuration tab > Security Profile and Enable SSH under Services.
- Under Firewall, enable httpClient (outbound http).
- Open PuTTY (or other SSH client) and SSH into your host.
