5 Type the password used to decrypt the content of the imported keystore database.
The details about the imported server certificate appear in the Server Certificate panel.
Export a Server Certificate
The server certificate private key is stored in the vmo_keystore table of the Orchestrator database. In case you
lose or delete this key, or if you bind the Orchestrator server to a different database, the contents of the exported
packages signed with this certificate become unavailable. To ensure that packages are decrypted on import,
you must save this key to a local file.
Prerequisites
You must have created or imported a server certificate.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
2 Click Server Certificate.
3 Click Export certificate database.
4 Type a password to encrypt the content of the exported keystore database.
You must enter this password again when importing the file.
5 Click Export.
6 Save the vmo-server.vmokeystore file when prompted.
Changing a Self-Signed Server Certificate
If you want to sign your packages with a server certificate different from the one you used for the initial
Orchestrator configuration, you must export all your packages and change the Orchestrator database.
This workflow describes the process to change the self-signed certificate.
1 Export all your packages by using the Orchestrator client.
a Click the Packages view in the Orchestrator client.
b Right-click the package to export and select Export package.
c Browse to select a location to save the package to and click Open.
d Leave the View content, Re-Packageable, and Edit element options selected.
CAUTION Do not sign the package with your current certificate. You must not encrypt the package.
When you delete the certificate database, the private key is lost and the contents of the exported
package become unavailable.
e (Optional) Deselect the Export version history check box if you do not want to export the version
history.
f Click Save.
2 Create a new database and configure Orchestrator to work with it.
For more information about setting up the Orchestrator database, see “Configure the Database
Connection,” on page 49.
3 (Optional) Export the Orchestrator configuration to back up your configuration data in case you want to
use the old database and the old SSL certificate.
