This blog post delves into the specifics of leveraging the /v1/credentials API in SDDC Manager, offering a detailed guide for VMware professionals to enhance their security posture through efficient credentials management. ...

SDDC Manager exposes a supported Tasks API for canceling some running workflows.

Work already completed by the task can remain in place. This guide uses only the public /v1/tasks and /v1/tokens endpoints documented in the current SDDC Manager API, reviewed against the VCF 9.x API selector on August 25, 2026. For an older VCF release, confirm that release’s API Explorer exposes the same operations and schema before using the commands.

This walkthrough covers a targeted replacement of a node-scoped Global Manager (GM) Corfu certificate. The screenshots were captured on NSX 4.1.0.2; the exact UI differs in later releases. Version and safety note: On NSX 4.2.x and VCF NSX 9.x, Broadcom prefers the built-in NSX Manager certificate-replacement UI. For a broader self-signed-certificate assessment or recovery, use the current Certificate Analyzer, Results and Recovery (CARR) procedure. CARR requires a dry run before remediation. Use the API below only when a targeted GM Corfu binding is appropriate for the installed release. ...
