vRealize Operations for Published Applications Adapter Certificate
and Trust Store Files
The certificate and trust store files for the vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter are in the
adapter's work directory. These files are in Java key store format.
The work directory is on the node where the vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter is
installed. On Linux, the path to the work directory
is /usr/lib/vmwarevcops/user/plugins/inbound/V4PA_adapter3/. On Windows, the path to the work
directory is C:\vmware\vcenteroperations\user\plugins\inbound\V4PA_adapter3\.
You can use the Java keytool utility to view and control the certificate store and trust store files.
