Option Description
Import a Copy the certificate values from BEGIN PRIVATE KEY to END PRIVATE KEY,
including the header and footer, and paste them in the RSA Private Key text
box.
b Copy the certificate values from BEGIN CERTIFICATE to END
CERTIFICATE, including the header and footer, and paste them in the
Certificate Chain text box. For multiple certificate values, include a BEGIN
CERTIFICATE header and END CERTIFICATE footer for each certificate.
Note In the case of chained certificates, additional attributes may be
available.
c (Optional) If your certificate uses a pass phrase to encrypt the certificate key,
copy the pass phrase and paste it in the Passphrase text box.
Provide Certificate Thumbprint Use this option if you want to provide a certificate thumbprint to use a certificate
that is already deployed in the certificate store on the IaaS servers. Using this
option will not transmit the certificate from the virtual appliance to the IaaS
servers. It enables users to deploy existing certificates on IaaS servers without
uploading them in the management interface.
7 Click Save Settings.
After a few minutes, the certificate details appear on the page.
Replace the IaaS Manager Service Certiļ¬cate
A system administrator can replace an expired certificate or a self-signed certificate with one from a
certificate authority to ensure security in a distributed deployment environment.
You can use a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) certificate on multiple machines. Certificates used for the
IaaS components (Website and Manager Service) must be issued with SAN values including FQDNs of
all Windows hosts on which the corresponding component is installed and with the Load Balancer FQDN
for the same component.
The IaaS Manager Service and the IaaS Web Service share a single certificate.
