vRealize Operations includes a central page where you can review authentication certificate contents.

How the Certificates Page Works

The Certificates page lets you examine certificate contents without the need to open the certificate outside of vRealize Operations.

Where You Find Certificates

In the menu, click Administration, and then in the left pane, click Management > Certificates.

Certificate Tabs

The certificate tab describes columns of exceptions tabs.

Note: The CRL tab is activated only when you select the Activate Standard Certificate Validation under Global Settings.
