Anthos Admin Workstation on vmware Root CA 509 Error

I followed the instructions on public docs on how to get the root CA from vcenter : https://cloud.google.com/anthos/clusters/docs/on-prem/latest/how-to/vcenter-ca-cert-path

Using the ca from path

"https:///certs/download.zip"

I am getting 509 certificate signed by unknown authority preflight when trying to create the anthos admin cluster.

I resolved this by using the openssl tool to retrieve the certificate by running cmd:

openssl s_client -connect vcenter_server_host:443

Copy and paste the cert from output.
