Replace Certificates in the vRealize Automation appliance
The system administrator can update or 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.
When you update or replace the vRealize Automation appliance certificate, trust with other related
components is re-initiated automatically. See Updating vRealize Automation Certificates for more
information about updating certificates.
