After registering the application as a plug-in, when you log in to the vCenter Server through the vSphere Client,
the application might display a security warning message for installing or ignoring the SSL certificate from
the vCenter Chargeback Manager instance. You must install this certificate.
When you access vCenter Chargeback Manager from the vSphere Client plug-in, you can see only the entities
of the vCenter Server on which your user account is created. You cannot access any other vCenter Server added
to vCenter Chargeback Manager, including vCenter Servers that are linked to the vCenter Server on which
your user account is created.
