Resolve untrusted certificates
From the Certificate page, you can resolve untrusted certificates by importing a self-signed certificate from the storage system or by importing a certificate authority (CA) certificate that has been issued by a trusted third party.
If you plan to import a CA-signed certificate, make sure that:
-
You have generated a certificate signing request (.CSR file) for each controller in the storage system and sent it to the CA.
-
The CA returned trusted certificate files.
-
The certificate files are available on your local system.
Untrusted certificates occur when a storage system attempts to establish a secure connection to the plugin, but the connection fails to confirm as secure. You might need to install additional trusted CA certificates if any of the following are true:
-
You recently added a storage system.
-
One or both certificates are expired or revoked.
-
One or both certificates are missing a root or intermediate certificate.
-
Select Certificate Management.
-
Select the Trusted tab.
This page shows all certificates reported for the storage systems.
-
Select either Import > Certificates to import a CA certificate or Import > Self-Signed storage system certificates to import a self-signed certificate.
-
To limit the view, you can use the Show certificates that are… filtering field or you can sort the certificate rows by clicking one of the column heads.
-
In the dialog box, select the certificate, and then click Import.
The certificate is uploaded and validated.
