Preface

Replacing an App Volumes Manager server certificate


App Volumes Manager servers require a certificate with SAN that include the server name, the FQDN of the server, and the server IP address. Using the method outlined in Requesting a certificate with Subject Alternative Names, that would require a certificate attributes string similar to:

san:dns=appvolmgr01.vjason.local&dns=appvolmgr01&ipaddress=172.16.100.20 

The following process outlines the steps required to replace the certificate on an App Volumes Manager appliance, and assume that you have already obtained the replacement certificate with the appropriate SAN:

  1. Use the process outlined in Converting a certificate from PFX to PEM format to convert the PFX certificate into separate CRT and KEY files. The CRT file must contain all certificates in the chain.

  2. Rename the files to appvol_self_vmware.com.crt and appvol_self_vmware.com.key, and copy them to a computer capable of accepting inbound Secure Copy (SCP) connections.
