SSO SAML integration failed due to expired certificate on solution user Aria Operations

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

After upgrading VMware Aria Operations from 8.12 to 8.18.3, the previously working SSO SAML authentication source fails with the following error:

"Failed to setup SSO source, reason: Auth Exception occurred: 'Solution user detail' certificate is invalid - certificateException java.security.cert.CertificateExpiredException: NotAfter: .......<Expiry date>"

The GUI does not expose the expired certificate for replacement. This is a blocking issue preventing SSO configuration.

The connection test completes successfully; however, after clicking the "OK" button, the following error appears:

Failed to setup SSO source, reason: Auth Exception occured: 'Solution user detail' certificate is invalid - certificateException java.security.cert CertificateExpiredException:NotAfter: ......<Expiry_date>
