Issue/Introduction
Upon logging into the Product UI of VMware Aria Operations, you see a banner across the top stating that there are expired certificates, with a link directing you to the Administration > Certificates section of the UI with the following possible text:
"Your certificate is expired. Please check the expiry date to take an action."
Cause
The presence of this banner indicates that you have previously trusted certificates within Aria Operations that have expired.
Resolution
To resolve this issue:
Ensure you are logged in with an admin level account
Click the link in the banner, or navigate to Administration > Certificates
Sort by the Expires column, and note which certificates are expired, as well as what endpoint they were issued to.
Make note of the Certificate you are deleting. Is the certificate from a Management Pack or from an Authentication Source?
Delete the expired certificate(s)
If the certificate is from a Management Pack:
Navigate to Data Sources > Integrations
Expand the Account instances until you find those correlated to the expired certificates identified in step 3
Click the ellipsis, then Edit, followed by Validate Connection.
Accept the new certificate if it is presented, and then click OK then Save.
If the certificate is from an Authentication Source:
Navigate to Administration > Authentication Sources
Click the ellipsis then Edit
Click on Test.
Accept the new certificate if it is presented, and then click OK.
