Replaced certificate in Operations for Logs node and it is not showing as secure

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

• Management > Certificates UI was used to upload the desired CA certificate for SSL on the Operations for Logs node web UI.
• The Web UI still shows an unsecure connection when connecting directly to the node's Web UI by FQDN in the web browser.

Environment

Aria Operations for Logs 8.18

Cause

The Management > Certificates UI tab is to upload certificates into the trust store, not for replacing the certificate of the Web UI or API itself.

Resolution

Use the Configuration > SSL tab to upload the certificate desired to secure the Web UI and API.

Follow the instructions in Upload Signed Certificate.
