Updating The SSL Certificates For Registered vCenter Servers
If the SSL certificate is changed on a vCenter server, then use the following steps to import the new certificate for the
OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter. The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter uses this certificate to make
sure the vCenter server it is talking to is the correct vCenter server and not an impersonator.
OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter uses the openssl API to create the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) using the
RSA encryption standard with a 2048 bit key length. The CSR generated by the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter
is used to get a digitally signed certificate from a trusted Certification Authority. The OpenManage Integration for VMware
vCenter uses the digital certificate to enable SSL on the Web server for secure communication.
