Explanation
Applying an SSL certificate to a VMware Aria Suite Component, such as VMware Aria Operations, involves generating a CSR, obtaining a signed certificate from a trusted CA, and importing the certificate into the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager. Restarting the relevant services ensures the updated certificate takes effect. The vSphere Client is not used in this process as it pertains to ESXi hosts, not VMware Aria components.
