An administrator must replace a component’s certificate in VCF with an external CA-signed certificate. What format must be used when creating the certificate?
The VCF 9.0 Security and Certificates Guide states: “ VCF supports only certificates in PEM format when replacing system component certificates with those signed by an external Certificate Authority. ”
PEM is the standard Base64 format with .crt and .key files. PFX (PKCS#12) is used for Windows stores but not supported in VCF automation. P7B is for certificate chains, while DER is binary encoding. Thus, the required format for certificates in VCF is PEM .
