Enable the SHA-1 Hashing Function

You can install certificates, signed with the SHA-1 hashing function in the VMware Live Site Recovery Appliance in case your environment requires it.

By default, the VMware Live Site Recovery server rejects installation of new certificates, which are signed with the SHA-1 hashing function. To install a certificate, signed with the SHA-1 hashing function, you must enable it in the VMware Live Site Recovery Appliance.
