After replacing the expired NSX Manager certificate, they find that the NSX-T Data Center GUI still displays an 'Untrusted Certificate' warning. What is the most likely step the administrator should take to resolve this issue?
- A
Restart the NSX Manager services to apply the new certificate.
- B
Replace the certificate on the vCenter Server instance linked to NSX-T.
- C
Re-establish the trust between NSX Manager and vCenter Server using the new certificate.
- D
Manually import the new certificate into the browser's trust store.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
When an NSX Manager certificate is replaced, the trust between NSX Manager and other components such as vCenter Server may need to be re-established. By re-establishing this trust, the new certificate is properly recognized, resolving the 'Untrusted Certificate' warning. Other options like restarting services or browser-specific fixes may not address the root cause of the issue.
- A. Incorrect.
Restarting the NSX Manager services is typically required after certain changes, but it is not a necessary step for resolving certificate trust issues in this scenario.
- B. Incorrect.
Replacing the certificate on vCenter Server is unrelated to the issue with the NSX Manager certificate. This would not resolve the 'Untrusted Certificate' warning.
- C. Correct.
Re-establishing the trust between NSX Manager and vCenter Server ensures that the new certificate is properly recognized and trusted. This is the necessary step to resolve the issue.
- D. Incorrect.
Manually importing the certificate into the browser's trust store might resolve the issue for the specific browser, but it does not address the underlying trust issue between NSX Manager and vCenter Server.
