Accept vIDM and LDAP Certificate Manually

If you have configured
Security Certificate Validation
as
Manual Acceptance
, then you need to accept the new certificate (TLS/SSL X.509) to configure the vIDM or LDAP successfully.
When you configure the vIDM or LDAP in
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
, and configure the
Security Certificate Validation
as
Manual Acceptance
, you see an alert message notification to accept the certificate. You also see the alert message notification whenever the system detects any changes in the security certificates.
Only an
Admin user
can accept a security certificate. If you do not accept the certificate, the vIDM or LDAP users cannot access
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
.
You can review and accept the security certificate when you see the security alert message notification. To accept the certificate, do the following:

    alert message notification, click
    ACCEPT
    .
  • For LDAPS, when you see the
    LDAP Security certificate update
    alert message notification, click
    ACCEPT
    .
  • For LDAPS, If the number of certificates update available is more than two, you see
    Certificate update available since <date>. Click here to review and accept
    in the LDAP tab.

      Click here to review and accept
      for the LDAPS server you want to review and accept the updated certificate.
