Deploy external VRO from LCM

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

Trying to deploy a new external orchestrator in and  the validation fails on certificate.

Environment

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator 8.18.1

Cause

 A wildcard certificate is an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate used to secure a website and its subdomains with a single certificate. Unlike traditional SSL certificates, which protect a single domain or subdomain, a wildcard certificate uses an asterisk (*) to cover all subdomains under a specific domain. 

 

Resolution

Need update the certificate to second-level wild card or update the DNS records to single-level domain.

Additional Information

• A subdomain is a prefix added to a domain name to organize and navigate different sections of a website. For instance, in blog.example.com, “blog” is the subdomain, while “example.com” is the primary domain.

  There are single-level and multiple-level subdomains:

  • Single-Level Subdomains: These are subdomains directly under the main domain, like shop.example.com.
  • Multiple-Level Subdomains: These include additional subdomain levels, such as secure.shop.example.com
