For secure VMware Aria Operations operation, you might need to perform maintenance on authentication certificates.

Authentication certificates are for a secure machine-to-machine communication within VMware Aria Operations itself or between VMware Aria Operations and other systems.

By default, VMware Aria Operations includes its own authentication certificates. The default certificates cause the browser to display a warning when you connect to the VMware Aria Operations user interface.

Your site security policies might require that you use another certificate, or you might want to avoid the warnings caused by the default certificates. In either case, VMware Aria Operations supports the use of your own custom certificate. You can upload your custom certificate during the initial primary node configuration or later.
