For information about supported versions of Chrome, see the VMware vRealize Support Matrix on the
VMware Web site.
Note If vRealize Automation is configured with a trusted SSL certificate for your environment, then
VMware Remote Console does not require additional configuration on client browsers.
On Windows, Chrome and Internet Explorer use the same certificate store. This means that certificates
that are trusted by Internet Explorer are also trusted by Chrome. To establish trusted certificates for
Chrome, import them through Internet Explorer. For information about this procedure, see Configure
Internet Explorer to Trust a Certificate for vRealize Automation Appliance.
When you complete the procedure, restart Chrome.
To permanently trust a certificate on the Macintosh operating system, download the certificate file and
install the certificate as trusted in your certificate management tool.
Procedure
1 In a Chrome browser, log in to the vRealize Automation appliance.
2 Click the icon in the address bar.
3 Click the certificate information link.
4 Save the certificate by dragging the certificate icon to the desktop.
5 Start the Keychain Access application.
6 Select File > Import Items.
7 On the Keychain Access screen, select the certificate file you saved earlier.
Set the value of Destination Key to System.
8 Click Open to import the certificate.
9 Restart the browser.
