Generating Certicate Signing Request
Prerequisite
Ensure that you upload the certicate before registering OMIVV with the vCenter.
About this task
Generating a new Certicate Signing Request (CSR) prevents certicates that were created with the previously generated CSR from being
uploaded to the appliance. To generate a CSR, do the following:
Steps
1 In the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, click Generate Certicate Signing Request in the HTTPS CERTIFICATES area.
A message is displayed stating that if a new request is generated, certicates created using the previous CSR can no longer be
uploaded to the appliance. To continue with the request, click Continue, or to cancel, click Cancel.
2 If you continue with the request, in the GENERATE CERTIFICATE SIGNING REQUEST dialog box, enter the Common Name,
Organizational Name, Organizational Unit, Locality, State Name, Country, and Email for the request. Click Continue.
3 Click Download, and then save the resulting certicate request to an accessible location.
Uploading HTTPS certicate
Prerequisite
Ensure that the certicate uses PEM format.
About this task
You can use the HTTPS certicates for secure communication between the virtual appliance and host systems. To set up this type of
secure communication, a CSR must be sent to a certicate authority and then the resulting certicate is uploaded using the Administration
Console. There is also a default certicate that is self-signed and can be used for secure communication; this certicate is unique to every
installation.
NOTE
: You can use the Microsoft internet explorer, Firefox, Chrome to upload certicates.
Steps
1 In the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, click Upload Certicate in the HTTPS CERTIFICATES area.
2 Click OK in the UPLOAD CERTIFICATE dialog box.
3 To select the certicate to be uploaded, click Browse, and then click Upload.
