Managing VASA trusted certificates

You can view and, if needed, remove all registered vCenter servers as well as upload new certificates.

Before managing VASA certificates, verify that the VASA credentials have been set, as explained in the previous section.

To display a list of all vCenter servers that are currently registered and are utilizing VASA functions, go to the VASA Trusted Certificates dialog box (Settings > VASA trusted certificates). Instructions on addingSpectrum Connect as a storage provider to the VMware vCenter Server are detailed in the Registering Spectrum Connect as a storage provider on vCenter server section. During Spectrum Connect registration, the certificate validity is verified for VMware VASA 1.0 and VASA 2.0. Also, for VMware VASA 2.0, it is verified that the certificate is signed by the VC root CA (when working with VMCA) or it is uploaded as a trusted certificate.

If you want to disconnect a vCenter server, click and highlight the row of the vCenter server that you want to disconnect, and then click the Remove button.

If you want to upload a new certificate, click Add > Upload Certificate > Browse and attach your certificate file.
