Manually Update Management Agents to Recognize a vRealize Appliance
Management Site Certiļ¬cate
After replacing a vRealize Appliance management site certificate, a system administrator updates all
Management Agents to recognize the new certificate to reestablish trusted communications between the
virtual appliance management site and Management Agents on IaaS hosts. Each IaaS hosts runs a
Management Agent and each Management Agent must be updated.
Perform these steps for each Management Agent in your deployment after you replace a certificate for
the vRealize Appliance management site.
For distributed deployments, you can update Management Agents manually or automatically. For
information about automatic update, see Automatically Update Management Agents in a Distributed
Environment to Recognize a vRealize Appliance Management Site Certificate
For minimal deployments, you must update Management Agents manually as described in this
procedure.
Prerequisites
Obtain the SHA1 thumbprints of the new vRealize Appliance management site certificate.
Procedure
1 Stop the VMware vCloud Automation Center Management Agent service.
2 Navigate to the Management Agent configuration file located at
[vcac_installation_folder]\Management
Agent\VMware.IaaS.Management.Agent.exe.Config, typically C:\Program Files
(x86)\VMware\vCAC\Management Agent\VMware.IaaS.Management.Agent.exe.Config.
3 Open the file for editing and locate the endpoint configuration setting for the old management site
certificate. which you can identify by the endpoint address.
For example:
<agentConfiguration id="C816CFBC-4830-4FD2-8951-C17429CEA291" pollingInterval="00:03:00">
<managementEndpoints>
<endpoint address="https://vra-va.local:5480"
thumbprint="D1542471C30A9CE694A512C5F0F19E45E6FA32E6" />
