You can delete an old or expired certificate associated with an adapter.

Procedure

  1. In a Web browser, navigate to the VMware Aria Operations administration interface at https://node-FQDN-or-ip-address/ui.
  2. Log in with the administrator user name and password.
  3. In the menu, click Administration, and in the left pane click Management > Certificates.
  4. In the certificate window, select the certificate that has to be removed.
  5. Click Delete to remove the certificate.
    Note: You must own the credential used to configure the adapter to be able to delete the certificate. For more information, see Configuring Credentials in Integrations.
  6. If the certificate is being used by the adapter, then the following message comes up:

    The screenshot displays the confirmation dialog box. You can click yes to confirm the deletion or no to cancel.
    A certificate can be configured for one or more adapters if it is the same destination system.
  7. If you delete a certificate which is already being used by another adapter, the adapter fails to connect or start. As a workaround, perform the following steps:
    1. On the left pane, click Data Sources > Integrations.
      The Accounts tab appears.
    2. Select the particular integration and click the vertical ellipsis and then click Edit.
      The Account Information page opens.
    3. Click Validate Connection.
      Note: If the adapter instance is saved using a credential that is owned by another user, you must apply your own credentials to validate the connection. For more information, see Manage Credentials.
    4. A prompt comes up asking the user to import the associated certificate. Click OK.
    5. Restart the adapter from the Accounts tab. To do so, select the same integration and click the vertical ellipsis and then click Stop Collecting and then click Start Collecting.
