Accept the data source certificate after replacing the NSX certificate

Products

• VCF Operations for Networks

Issue/Introduction

After replacing the NSX HTTPS certificate, VCF Operations for Networks requires manual certificate acceptance if automatic acceptance is not enabled.

Environment

VCF Operations for Networks

Cause

VCF Operations for Networks enables automatic certificate acceptance by default.
When the NSX data source certificate is replaced, the system automatically accepts the new certificate if this feature remains enabled.
However, if automatic acceptance has been disabled, the system will not process the new certificate automatically, and manual acceptance becomes necessary.

Resolution

Option 1: Manually Accept the Certificate

If manual acceptance is required, follow the procedure described in the official documentation: Accept a Data Source Certificate Manually.

Option 2: Enable Automatic Certificate Acceptance

To configure the system to automatically accept certificates:

1. Navigate to System > System Configuration.
2. Locate the Security Certificate Validation setting.
3. Change the value to Auto Acceptance.
