Manage Product Certificates

When you deploy a product by using VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager, you specify the main product certificate. You can manage the product certificates for all products deployed by using VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager.

When you deploy a product, in the deployment REST API payload, you specify the product certificate. By default, VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager considers the certificate that you configure on a product node level as the main product certificate.

By configuring a REST API request, you can either obtain the certificate information for a deployed product, or update an existing product certificate.

Managing a Certificate for an Existing Product

Depending on the product, you can configure different product certificates. By default, VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager considers the certificate that you configure on a product node level as the main product certificate.

When updating a product certificate, you define the new certificate by providing the certificate chain and certificate key. You must define the certificate in PEM format.

To update the certificate for a product in VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager, before running the REST API request, you must define the product environment.

Managing a Certificate for a Product Service

To specify the certificate for a product service, in the VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager REST API payload for deployment or update of a product, you must provide the service certificate parameters.
