The vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter also checks whether a VM with same serverID
exists in vRealize Operations Manager, and adds the VM into the topology when a VM with the same name
exists.
Broker Agent Authentication
When an RMI connection is established to the broker message server, the broker message server requests a
certificate from the client to perform client authentication. The certificate is validated against the trust store
for the vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter before proceeding with the connection.
If the client does not provide a certificate, or the agent's certificate cannot be validated, the connection is
rejected. When you first install the broker agent, a self-signed certificate is generated. The broker agent uses
this self-signed certificate by default to authenticate to the vRealize Operations for Published Applications
adapter. Because this certificate is generated dynamically, you must manually pair the
vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter and broker agent before the broker agent can
communicate with the vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter. For more information, see
Chapter 19, “Certificate Pairing,” on page 73.
