Certificate management

VxRail Manager uses certificates for HTTPS access. By default, VxRail Manager generates a default SSL self-signed certificate to establish an encrypted channel between the VMware vCenter Server and VxRail Manager. Replace the default self-signed certificate with a certificate authority (CA) signed certificate from a trusted third-party CA or enterprise public key infrastructure (PKI).

You can use the following types of certificates for VxRail:
  • Self-signed
  • Signed by a trusted CA vendor
  • Thumbprint Mode is not supported. See KB 205158 for more information.
To comply with FIPS 140-2 and related documents, use CA-signed digital certificates with a minimum of 128 bits of security for the digital signature algorithm and hashes.

Consider company policies when you create certificates.

For VxRail 7.0.x, go to SolVe Online for VxRail and select procedures to generate procedures to replace the SSL certificate or import VMware vSphere SSL certificates for VxRail Manager.

For VxRail 8.0.x, go to the VxRail 8.0.x Administration Guide.
