1 Replace a Certificate in the vRealize Appliance
The system administrator can replace a self-signed certificate with a trusted one from a certificate
authority. You can use Subject Alternative Name (SAN) certificates, wildcard certificates, or any
other method of multi-use certification appropriate for your environment as long as you satisfy the
trust requirements.
2 Update SSO Registration for the vRealize Appliance
When the host name for a vRealize Appliance is changed, the system administrator must update
Identity Appliance SSO registration.
3 Update the IaaS Servers with the vRealize Appliance Certificate
After the virtual appliance certificates are updated, the system administrator updates the IaaS server
running the Model Manager Data component registry to reestablish trusted communications
between the virtual appliances and IaaS components.
