Products

• VMware Cloud Foundation

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

When attempting to make CA changes in the UI, specifically to remove current Certificate Authority the changes do not commit

 

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 4.x

Cause

Internal API does not apply via UI endpoint

Resolution

Workaround:

1. Make an offline backup of VCF appliance - snapshot of the SDDC Manager VM is enough.
2. Use API explorer to run the following API GET /v1/certificate-authorities to get list of all CA.
3. Capture the ID for the MS CA 
4. Run the API DELETE /v1/certificate-authorities /[ID] -- replace [ID] with the ID of the MS CA found running the get API
5. Confirm the CA is removed in the UI
