Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 6.0.1 Installation and Deployment Guide

Changing the plugin server certificate

Use the following procedure to change the plugin server certificate before the plugin server has been configured using Deployment Manager.

Perform the following steps if you want to use a certificate that the internal certificate authority of your organization signs.

Connect to the plugin server with root permissions.
Create a backup of the existing certificate and key files:
/etc/nginx/ssl/rpcenter.cert

/etc/nginx/ssl/rpcenter.key
Disable the firewall on the plugin server.
Run the command /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 off.
Upload the new certificate and key files to /etc/nginx/ssl.
Rename the new certificate file to rpcenter.cert and the new key file to rpcenter.key.
Reboot the plugin server VM.
In the RecoverPoint for VMs Deployer, click Configure plugin server home screen.
Enter the plugin server IP address in IPv4 format, confirm the new certificate, and click Configure.

For more information, see the Configure the plugin server.

RecoverPoint for VMs is configured to use the new plugin server certificate.

NOTE:

Check that the certificate is the same across all vRPAs of the same cluster before adding the vRPA to the cluster.

Log in to vSphere Client from the relevant vCenter Server and check that the RecoverPoint for VMs HTML5 plugin is displayed.
