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.
Procedure
1 Open a Web browser to the vRealize Automation appliance management interface URL.
2 Log in with user name root and the password you specified when deploying the vRealize Automation
appliance.
3 Select vRA Settings > Certificates.
4 Click Manager Service from the Certificate Type menu.
5 Select the certificate type from the Certificate Action menu.
If you are using a PEM-encoded certificate, for example for a distributed environment, select Import.
Certificates that you import must be trusted and must also be applicable to all instances of
vRealize Automation appliance and any load balancer through the use of Subject Alternative Name
(SAN) certificates.

a Client/server certificate signed by the intermediate CA certificate
b One or more intermediate certificates
c A root CA certificate
