Registering an SMS Certificate for the VASA Provider

Both the vCenter Server and VASA Provider use SSL certificates. The VASA Provider support included
with Recovery Manager for VMware uses the same certificate used by the Plug-in web service.
However, before you can use the vCenter Server to register the VASA provider, you must manually
install the SMS certificate extracted from the vCenter server onto the VASA installed host. This
process is required for every vCenter Server you intend to register with the VASA provider. The
same process is also required if the SMS certificate has a new certificate. The SMS extraction and
installation process is provided in the following section.
