Enable the SHA-1 Hashing Function

You can install certificates, signed with the SHA-1 hashing function in the
Site Recovery Manager
Appliance in case your environment requires it.
By default, the
Site Recovery Manager
server rejects installation of new certificates, which are signed with the SHA-1 hashing function. To install a certificate, signed with the SHA-1 hashing function, you must enable it in the
Site Recovery Manager
Appliance.
  1. Establish an SSH connection to the
    Site Recovery Manager
    Appliance.
  2. Navigate to the
    /opt/vmware/srm/conf/
    folder and open the
    vmware-dr.xml
    and the
    drconfig.xml
    files in a text editor.
  3. Find the
    <connections>
    section and add a
    <allowSha1>
    section.
    <connections> <allowSha1>true</allowSha1> </connections>
  4. Save the files and restart the
    Site Recovery Manager Server
    service.
  5. Use the following command to restart the
    dr-configurator
    service.
    sudo systemctl restart dr-configurator
