Adding an SSL Certificate to the VMware Aria Operations Truststore

When Creating an Adapter Instance, different levels of security can be configured. The
least secure
 configuration is to leave the
SSL Trust Store Path
 field in the Advanced Settings blank. In this configuration, the Management Pack will accept all SSL certificates.
For added security
, you can enable SSL by following the instructions below and entering the path to the truststore in the
SSL Trust Store Path
 field in the Advanced Settings.
To add an SSL certificate to your VMware Aria Operations trustore:
  1. Obtain the SSL certificate for your XtremIO host server from your Internet browser. Export the certificate as an
    X.509 Certificate (PEM)
    .
  2. Copy the certificate to your VMware Aria Operations machine.
  3. Use ‘ssh’ to log in to the VMware Aria Operations machine as the root user, then run the following command:
    Linux:
    $VCOPS_BASE/jre/bin/keytool -import -alias <product_alias> -file /tmp/<certfile> -keystore “$VCOPS_DATA_VCOPS/user/conf/ssl/tcserver.truststore” -storepass <truststore_password> -trustcacerts
    The <truststore_password> is generated by VMware Aria Operations and is located in /storage/vcops/user/conf/ssl/storePass.properties. Copy the password from the ssltruststorePassword= field and paste it in the <truststore_password> placeholder.
    Windows:
    %VCOPS_BASE%\jre\bin\keytool -import -alias <product_alias> C:\path\to\certfile -keystore “%VCOPS_DATA_VCOPS%\user\conf\ssl\tcserver.truststore” -storepass <truststore_password> -trustcacerts
    Parameter Descriptions:
    • -alias is a unique name for each key that you add (per host)
    • certfile is the location where the cert file was saved
  4. Run the reboot command to re-start the VMware Aria Operations machine for the changes to take effect.
