The procedure for adding a vCenter server in the RecoverPoint console can be confusing.

Comman errors when attemprting this are "Invalid Virtual Center Credentials supplied" or "Invalid port".

By default the vCenter server listens on port 443, and for RecoverPoint to successfully connect to the vCenter server it must use the vCenter SSL certificate file copied from the vCenter server. Here’s how to do it in three easy steps:

Step 1: Copy the SSL certificate file rui.crt from the vCenter server to your local machine. The file location varies based on the vCenter server OS version:
 For W2K3: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL\rui.crt
 For W2K8: C:\Users\All Users\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL\rui.crt
Step 2: Using the RecoverPoint Management Console, right-click vCenter Servers, select Add vCenter Server

Step 3:  Select the site where the vCenter server is located. Under Credentials:

         Server IP:  &lt;Enter the Virtual Center IP address, not an ESXi host &gt;

         Port number: 443

         Username: &lt;Domain or Local user must be able to login to VC&gt;

         Password:

         Certificate files: &lt;Browse to rui.crt obtained in step 1&gt;
