Issue trying to import custom certificate on UI

Products

Issue/Introduction

Getting errors while trying to validate the key file on the SSH console.
In addition, when trying to import the cert file, the file cannot be accepted.

Environment

Aria Operations 8.x

Cause

Openssl command error.  The Openssl command cannot validate the Private Key. It should be used to validate a cert or pem file.

The cluster was online while the certificate is being imported.

Resolution

Please follow the steps from KB Configure a Certificate For Use With VMware Aria Operations to concatenate the key and cert files and to import the multipart pem file to Aria Operations.

Note:  Requirement: Please make sure that cluster is Offline prior to try to import the certificate. Otherwise the import request will fail.
