Resolve untrusted certificates during discovery

If necessary, you must resolve any certificate issues before proceeding with the discovery process.

During discovery, if any storage arrays show an "Untrusted Certificates" status, the Step 2: Resolve Self-Signed Certificates dialog box appears. You can resolve untrusted certificates in this dialog, or you can import CA certificates (see Import certificates for arrays).
  1. If the Resolve Self-Signed Certificates dialog box opens, review the information displayed for the untrusted certificates. For more information, you can also click the ellipses at the far end of the table and select View from the pop-up menu.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If you trust the connections to the discovered storage arrays, click Next and then click Yes to confirm and continue to the next card in the wizard. The self-signed certificates will be marked as trusted and the storage arrays will be added to the DE Plugin for vCenter.
    • If you do not trust the connections to the storage arrays, select Cancel and validate each storage array's security certificate strategy before adding any of them to the DE Plugin for vCenter.
  3. Go to Provide passwords.
