When you install vCloud Director for Linux, you must create two certificates for each member of the server group and import the certificates into host keystores.
Note: You must create the certificates for the server group members only after installing
vCloud Director on Linux. The
vCloud Director appliance creates self-signed SSL certificates during its first boot.
