How the Certificates Page Works

The Certificates page lets you examine certificate contents without the need to open the certificate outside of VMware Aria Operations.

Where You Find Certificates

In the menu, click Administration > Control Panel, and then click the Certificates tile.

Certificate Tabs

The certificate tab describes columns of exceptions tabs.

Note: The CRL tab is activated only when you select the Activate Standard Certificate Validation under Global Settings.
