How tos

I want to...

  • Use CA-signed certificates
    You can obtain and import CA-signed certificates for secure access to the management system hosting the DE Plugin for vCenter.
  • Reset management certificates
    You can revert the management certificate to the original, factory self-signed state.
  • Import certificates for arrays
    If necessary, you can import certificates for the storage arrays so they can authenticate with the system hosting the DE Plugin for vCenter. Certificates can be signed by a certificate authority (CA) or can be self-signed.
  • View certificates
    You can view summary information for a certificate, which includes the organization using the certificate, the authority that issued the certificate, the period of validity, and the fingerprints (unique identifiers).
  • Export certificates
    You can export a certificate to view its complete details.
  • Delete trusted certificates
    You can delete one or more certificates that are no longer needed, such as an expired certificate.
  • Resolve untrusted certificates
    From the Certificate page, you can resolve untrusted certificates by importing a self-signed certificate from the storage array or by importing a certificate authority (CA) certificate that has been issued by a trusted third party.
