Updating The SSL Certificates For Registered vCenter Servers
If the SSL certificate is changed on a vCenter server, then use the following steps to import the new certificate for the Dell Management Plug-in. The Dell Management Plug-in uses this certificate to make sure the vCenter server it is talking to is the correct vCenter server and not an impersonator.
The Dell Management Plug-in uses the openssl API to create the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) using the RSA encryption standard with a 2048 bit key length. The CSR generated by the Dell Management Plug-in is used to get a digitally signed certificate from a trusted Certification Authority. The Dell Management Plug-in uses the digital certificate to enable SSL on the Web server for secure communication.
To update the SSL certificates for registered vCenter servers:
Launch a browser window and enter the Administration Console URL displayed in the vSphere vCenter Console tab for the virtual machine you want to configure or use the link from the Dell Management Console > Settings page. The URL uses the following format and is case sensitive: https://<ApplianceIPAddress>
In the left pane, click VCENTER REGISTRATION. The registered vCenters are displayed in a table. To update the certificates, click Update.
