Configure Security Certificate Validation

When you add a data source, or configure LDAP and VMware Identity Manager (vIDM) in
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
, all the certificates related to that data source, LDAP, or vIDM are validated. In
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
, you can configure how you want to validate and accept the certificates.
There are two ways you can configure certificate validation:
Automatic Acceptance
and
Manual Acceptance
. In
Automatic Acceptance
, system automatically accepts all the detected certificate changes, and in
Manual Acceptance
, system show you notification to accept the certificate manually.
  1. Go to
    Settings
    System Configurations
    .
  2. From
    Security Certificate Validation
    drop-down menu, select one of the validation methods:
    • Automatic Acceptance
    • Manual Acceptance
  3. Click
    Save
    .
    If you change the certificate validation method from
    Manual Acceptance
    to
    Automatic Acceptance
    , you must accept all the available certificate changes manually before you change the certificate validation method.


    If you change the Data Source Certificate Validation from Manual Acceptance to Automatic Acceptance without accepting the pending detected certificate changes, then you have to delete all the data source with pending certificate and add them again to get the insight about those data sources.
