vRealize Lifeycycle Manager (vRSLCM) come with a Certificate Management feature. We can access the certificate management from Home -> Locker -> Certificate
We can generate Self Signed certificates for products managed by Lifecycle Manager as well as certificate requests to be signed by a certification authority
Generate a new CSR
Download the CSR and take it to the certified authority, in my case im using a Microsoft server /certsrv/certrqxt.asp
Click on advanced certificate requests and complete the request details
Download the certificate in the Base 64 encoded format
Next we can import it in to the certificate vault
Click on import and complete the details. The private key can be found in the certificate request file
Make sure you create a file that includes the signed certificate + the private key + the intermediate and root certificates.
The certificate can now be used
