Cause

As indicated by this line in the error message "VmEMSetup.Dialogs.VMEMDialog_AddConfig.EnumSSLCertificates()", there is an issue parsing certificates with an empty Subject field, and they will need to be removed. The offending certificates are not self-signed because they are generated from Active Directory Certificate Services.

Solution

Remove the certificates that are causing the problem. To do so:

1. First, log onto the Enterprise Manager server and perform the following steps:

·         You will need a small .EXE that will assist with this workaround. Please request the zip file with this .EXE from Support.
·         Download the zip file to the Web Server we are trying to install the Enterprise Manager onto. Once the zip file has been downloaded, extract both files to this directory:
 
C:\Tools\EnumCert\
 
2. Now open the COMMAND PROMPT utility and run this command to execute the .EXE you just extracted: C:\Tools\EnumCert\EnumSSLCertificates.exe

Press ENTER and then look at the list of certificates it generates. DO NOT close this window yet because we will need it after completing steps 3 through 6.
 
3. Click Start and then left-click on the ‘Run’ utility. Type mmc and press ENTER.
