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 Data Sources
page. Use this procedure to accept the certificate.
