Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

Before registering an OMIVV to a vCenter, ensure that you upload the CSR.

Generating a new CSR prevents certificates that were created with the previously generated CSR from being uploaded to the

appliance. To generate a CSR, do the following:

1. On the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, click Generate Certificate Signing Request in the HTTPS CERTIFICATES

area.

A message is displayed stating that if a new request is generated, certificates created using the previous CSR can no longer

be uploaded to the appliance. To continue with the request, click Continue.

2. If you continue with the request, in the GENERATE CERTIFICATE SIGNING REQUEST dialog box, enter information

about the common name, organization, locality, state, country, and email address. Click Continue.

3. Click Download, and then save the resulting CSR to an accessible location.

Upload HTTPS certificate

Ensure that the certificate uses the PEM format.

You can use the HTTPS certificates for secure communication with OMIVV appliance and host systems or vCenter. To set up

this type of secure communication, send the CSR certificate to a signing authority, and then upload the resulting CSR using the

admin console. There is also a default certificate that is self-signed and can be used for secure communication—this certificate

is unique to every installation.

1. On the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, click Upload Certificate in the HTTPS CERTIFICATES area.

2. Click OK in the UPLOAD CERTIFICATE dialog box.

3. To upload the certificate, click Browse, and then click Upload.

To check the status, go to Event Console of vSphere Client of registered vCenters.

While uploading certificate, OMIVV administration console becomes unresponsive for up to 3 minutes. After upload HTTPs

certificate task is complete, close the browser session and access admin portal in a new browser session.

Restore default HTTPS certificate

1. On the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, click Restore Default Certificate in the HTTPS CERTIFICATES area.

2. In the RESTORE DEFAULT CERTIFICATE dialog box, click Apply.

While restoring certificate, OMIVV administration console becomes unresponsive for up to 3 minutes. After restore default

HTTPs certificate task is complete, close the browser session and access admin portal in a new browser session.

Set up global alerts

Alert management enables you to configure global settings for how alerts are stored at OMIVV for all vCenter instances.
