Adding an SSL certificate to the peer keystore

For the VMware adapter to function properly, you must add an SSL certificate to the keystore of the TrueSight Orchestration peer, on which the adapter is enabled.

The cacerts file in the JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/ folder contains the client certificate authority for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Only a root or an admin user can update the cacerts file.

To install the SSL certificate, open a command-line shell and navigate to the folder containing the vcenter.cer file and execute the following command:

keytool -importcert -alias <aliasName>
-file <certificateFileName> -keystore <locationOfKeystore>

The following code snippet shows an example for installing the certificate.

keytool -importcert -alias VMWARE
-file vcenter.cer -keystore C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\security\cacerts
