Cause

This alarm will be triggered if the "data-encipherment" certificate in vCenter has been expired.

Resolution

VMware is actively working on suppressing vCenter alarms for the entire VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs and the actual issue of the alarms being generated for this cert expiry would be handled in the future release.

Workaround:
You can ignore and clear this vCenter alarm by clicking "Acknowledge" or "Reset To Green".

Additional Information

Impact/Risks:
The "data-encipherment" certificate is commonly used for the guest OS customization, however, this certificate is only used for the internal data security management in VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC.
So, it does not impact your guest OS customization and there is no action required.
