vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager stores passwords in the locker repository which are referenced during life cycle operations on data centers, environments, products, and integrations.

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager stores certificates in the locker repository which can be referenced during product life cycle operations. Externally provided certificates, such as Certificate Authority-signed certificates, can be imported or certificates can be generated by the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager appliance.

The certificate validity - such as the issued date, expiration date, time remaining - and certificate details - such as the issuer, subject, and subject alternative names - are available for reference along with the certificate health based on the expiration date. Additionally, you can review the certificate reference to see where the certificate is in use across environments and products. As certificates need to be replaced, such as with expiration or a cluster scale-out, the locker provides the ability to replace certificates on referenced entities.

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager stores licenses in the locker repository which can be referenced during product life cycle operations. Licenses can be validated and added to repository directory or imported through an integration with VMware Customer Connect.

The license details - such as the issued date, expiration date, time remaining - and license details - such as the type, quantity, unit, and expiration - are available for reference. Additionally, you can review the license references to see where the license is in use across environments and products. Because a license must be replaced, for example, with workload domain expansion, the locker provides the ability to replace licenses on referenced entities.
