You can use the vRealize Orchestrator Appliance to generate a new TLS certificate for your environment or set an existing custom certificate.
The vRealize Orchestrator Appliance includes a Trusted Layer Security (TLS) certificate that is generated automatically, based on the network settings of the appliance. If the network settings of the appliance change, you must generate a new certificate manually. You can create a certificate chain to guarantee encrypted communication and provide a signature for your packages. However, the recipient cannot be sure that the self-signed package is in fact a package issued by your server and not a third party claiming to be you. To prove the identity of your server, use a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority (CA).
vRealize Orchestrator generates a server certificate that is unique to your environment. The private key is stored in the vmo_keystore table of the vRealize Orchestrator database.
