View in use certificates on vCenter Server Appliance

certificatevmware-vcentervmware-vsphere

I'm trying to find which certificates are in use on a VMware vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA).

For example the current MACHINE or vpxd certificate, where are they located so that I can check the thumbprint and/or export it?

I'm not referring to the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) which is about all I can find results for when Googling.

Thanks!
