Accept a Data Source Certificate Manually
If you have configured
Security Certificate Validation
as
Manual Acceptance
, then you must accept the new certificate
(HTTPS certificate or SSH public key) for each data source whenever the system detects any
change in certificate.When you add a data source in
VMware Aria
Operations for Networks
, all the
certificates (HTTPs certificates or SSH public keys) related to that data source are
automatically added as a trust on first use. After you add the data source in
VMware Aria
Operations for Networks
, every time
there is any change in the certificate, the system validates the certificate. If you have configured
Data Source Certificate Validation
as
Manual Acceptance
, whenever VMware Aria
Operations for Networks
detects any changes in the certificate,
it stops the data source and shows you an alert message notification to accept the
certificate manually. When you accept the certificate, the system starts the data
source. You can also see the certificate change alert in the Accounts and
