Can't SSH to get generated certificate to paste in vcenter

[levensailor]

I selected the option to have certificates generated for me because I don't care, its a lab.
I can vmconsole in and see the certificates I think I need are in /etc/haproxy directory.
Problem is vCenter 8 is wanting the certificate. I can see it, but not copy paste from vmconsole so i need ssh.

I've verified sshd.service is started, the config file looks good, and i disabled iptables.
I still get Connection refused to mgmt_ip:22
