PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Kubernetes User Guide

If disabling of the SSL certificate is required, you can perform the following procedure.

1. Create a file named cbs_vmware_connection.properties in the /home/admin directory on the PowerProtect Data Manager server, with the following contents:

   cbs.vmware_connection.ignore_vcenter_certificate=true
   

2. If not already created, create an application.yml file in the /usr/local/brs/lib/vmdm/config/ directory.
   NOTE:The structure of this file requires that you separate fields into individual categories and sub categories, as shown in the following step.
3. In the application.yml file, add the following contents:

   vmware_connection:
          ignore_vcenter_cert: true

   discovery:
          ignore_vcenter_cert: true

4. Run cbs stop to stop the cbs service, and then cbs start to restart the service.
5. Run vmdm stop to stop the vmdm service, and then vmdm start to restart the service.
6. If the SSL certificate uses an FQDN, perform a test to determine if SSL certificate disabling was successful by adding a vCenter server using the vCenter server's IP address, and then verify that the asset source was added and virtual machine discovery was successful.
