service as an authentication method, type the respective credentials to log in to the Orchestrator client.
5 In the Security Warning window select an option to handle the certicate warning.
The Orchestrator client communicates with the Orchestrator server by using an SSL certicate. A
trusted CA does not sign the certicate during installation. You receive a certicate warning each time
you connect to the Orchestrator server.
Option Description
Ignore
Continue using the current SSL certicate.
The warning message appears again when you reconnect to the same
Orchestrator server, or when you try to synchronize a workow with a
remote Orchestrator server.
Cancel
Close the window and stop the login process.
Install this certificate and do not
display any security warnings for it
anymore.
Select this check box and click Ignore to install the certicate and stop
receiving security warnings.
You can change the default SSL certicate with a certicate signed by a CA. For more information about
changing SSL certicates, see Installing and Conguring VMware vRealize Orchestrator.
What to do next
You can import a package, start a workow, or set root access rights on the system.
