You can import a signed certificate of NSX-T Data Center generated CSR. This page provides the step to import a signed certificate of NSX generated CSR.
A self-signed certificate acts as a certificate as well as CA. It is not required to be signed from any external CA, whereas CSR is a certificate signing request that cannot act as CA and must be signed by external CA. Note that a self-signed certificate is not supporetd for LB.
When you use a self-signed certificate the client user receives a warning message such as, Invalid Security Certificate. The client user must then accept the self-signed certificate when first connecting to the server in order to proceed. Allowing client users to select this option provides reduced security than other authorization methods.
