Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
Prerequisites
By default, OMIVV has self-signed certificate. If you need customized Certificate Authority (CA)-signed certificate for OMIVV, it
is recommended to upload new certificate before vCenter registration.
About this task
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:
Steps
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 that is 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 name, locality, state, country, email address, and Subject Alternate Name (SAN), and
then click Continue.
NOTE: OMIVV does not support multiple values for SAN.
3. Click Download, and then save the resulting CSR to an accessible location.
Upload HTTPS certificate
Prerequisites
Ensure that the certificate uses the PEM format.
About this task
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.
Steps
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.
Results
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.
