Uploading HTTPS certificate
Ensure that the certificate uses PEM format.
You can use the HTTPS certificates 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 certificate authority and then the resulting certificate is uploaded using
the Administration 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.
NOTE: You can use the Microsoft internet explorer, Firefox, Chrome to upload certificates.
1. In the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, click Upload Certificate in the HTTPS CERTIFICATES area.
2. Click OK in the UPLOAD CERTIFICATE dialog box.
3. To select the certificate to be uploaded, click Browse, and then click Upload.
4. If you want to cancel the upload, click Cancel.
NOTE:
If you want to upload a custom certificate for the appliance, ensure that you upload the new certificate prior
to vCenter registration. If you upload the new custom certificate after vCenter registration, communication errors are
displayed in the web client. To fix this issue, unregister, and re-register the appliance with the vCenter.
Restoring default HTTPS certificate
1. In the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, click Restore Default Certificate in the HTTPS CERTIFICATES area.
2. In the RESTORE DEFAULT CERTIFICATE dialog box, click Apply.
Registering vCenter Server by nonadministrator user
You can register vCenter servers for the OMIVV appliance with vCenter administrator credentials or a nonadministrator user
with the Dell privileges.
To enable a nonadministrator user with the required privileges to register a vCenter Server, perform the following steps:
1. To change the privileges selected for a role, add the role and select the required privileges for the role or modify an existing
role.
See VMware vSphere documentation for the steps required to create or modify a role and select privileges in the vSphere
Web Client. To select all the required privileges for the role, see the Required privileges for nonadministrator users.
NOTE: The vCenter administrator should add or modify a role.
2. Assign a user to the newly created role after you define a role and select privileges for the role.
See VMware vSphere documentation for more information about assigning permissions in the vSphere Web Client.
NOTE: The vCenter administrator should assign permissions in the vSphere Client.
A vCenter Server nonadministrator user with the required privileges can now register and/or unregister vCenter, modify
credentials, or update the certificate.
