Manually Update Management Agents to Recognize a vRealize

Appliance Management Site Certiﬁcate

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:

<endpoint address="https://vra-va.local:5480"

thumbprint="D1542471C30A9CE694A512C5F0F19E45E6FA32E6" />
