            Replacing SSL Certificates in vRealize Automation 7.3
    
    
            
                In this series of posts we will walk through the process of upgrading all of the vRealize Automation Certificates. We will be moving from self-signed certificates that were deployed during the installation, to certificates that have been provided by an Enterprise Certificate Authority (CA).
