Generating Certificate Signing Request
Ensure that you upload the certificate before registering OMIVV with the vCenter.
Generating a new Certificate Signing Request (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. In 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, 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 certificate request to an accessible location.
