Restoring the Lenovo XClarity Integrator-generated server certificate

Users can generate a new server certificate to reinstate a Lenovo XClarity Integrator-generated certificate if Lenovo XClarity Integrator currently uses a customized server certificate. The customized server certificate is then replaced and the new self-signed server certificate is used on the Lenovo XClarity Integrator.

Procedure

Complete these steps to generate a new server certificate and sign the certificate with the currently generated CA root certificate:

  1. On the left navigation pane, click Security Settings.
  2. Click Server Certificate on the setting page.
  3. Click the Regenerate Server Certificate tab.
  4. Fill in the fields in the Regenerate Server Certificate page:
    • Country

    • State or Province

    • City or Locality

    • Organization

    • Organization Unit

    • Common Name

    Note
    Select a common name that matches the IP address or hostname of the Lenovo XClarity Integrator virtual appliance. Failure to select the correct value might result in connections that are not trusted. Users can allow Lenovo XClarity Integrator to generate the common name automatically by specifying Generated by LXCI.
  5. Click Regenerate Certificate

    When the new server certificate is regenerated, Lenovo XClarity Integrator is restarted and the browser connection to the Lenovo XClarity Integrator Web interface is terminated. To continue the work, log in to the Lenovo XClarity Integrator Web interface again.

    Note
    Update VMWare vCenter registration after the server certificate is regenerated.
