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