Replacing the Certificate

This is the third post in a series tackling the extra certificates you may want to replace once you have deployed vRealize Automation.

There are plenty of articles on changing the SSL certificate for this website https://vra-fqdn:8283/vco-vcoconfigurator on an External instance of vRealize Orchestrator, most notably is @SpasKaloferov ’s post http://kaloferov.com/blog/how-to-change-the-ssl-certificate-of-a-vro-appliance-7-x/

I haven’t had time to look into what black magic goes on under the covers to make this happen, but I did try and reboot the vco-configurator and vco-server services but the certificate didn’t update. It took a reboot of the vRA Virtual Appliance for the certificate to register.
