If you see a warning message about SSL certificates while deploying the Cyber Recovery connector, you might have to install a new certificate in vCenter Server before proceeding.

When you deploy the Cyber Recovery connector OVA in vCenter Server 6.7 or newer, if you receive a message stating 'SSL certificate cannot be trusted', you have two options: 

  • Proceed and click Yes to accept the certificate. Or,
  • Install the necessary Certificate Authority root certificate in vCenter Server to enable verification (see instructions below).
Note: If you do not see this message, you do not have to perform this task.
