DESCRIPTION
Use the manageClientCerts command to create, delete, and list the client tokens for the VMware and the SCVMM plug-ins, as well as add, remove, and list aliases.
OPTIONS
- -addAlias
Use this option to add an alternate host name or IP address for the clientName that was used when generating a token. Use the -ANY parameter with addAlias to allow any host or any TCP/IP address to communicate using the specified certificate. While this command works, it is not a secure method
- -create
Use this option to create a certificate for the client specified.
- -delete
Use this option to delete a certificate for the client specified.
- -deleteAlias
Use this option to delete an alternate host name or IP address that is associated with a token.
- -list
Use this option to list all the certificates.
- -listAliases
Use this option to list all aliases for client.
- -renew
Use this option to delete a token and to create a new one. Any aliases that existed for the token are retained. If a token expires, you can use this option to renew the token. Be aware that tokens expire after one year.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 - Create a token for client vCenter1
manageClientCerts -create vCenter1 Successfully created client certificate for 'vCenter1' to secure access to the NetBackup Web Services on Master Server 'master.example.com', port '8443'. Please find the zip at /usr/openv/var/global/wsl/credentials/clients /vCenter1.example.com.zip.

manageClientCerts -addAlias vCenter1.example.com -HOST vCenter1
Example 3 - List all the aliases for vCenter1
manageClientCerts -listAliases vCenter1 Aliases for vCenter1: HOST = vCenter1.example.com
Example 4 - Renew a token for vCenter1
manageClientCerts -renew vCenter1 Renewing client certificate: vCenter1 Successfully deleted the entries for the client vCenter1. Successfully created client certificate for 'vCenter1 to secure access to the NetBackup Web Services on Master Server 'mserver1.example.com', port '8443'.
