To replace the SSL certificate for a vRealize Log Insight (vRLI) deployment using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager (vRSLCM), the administrator must have the appropriate roles assigned within vRSLCM. The two roles that enable certificate management tasks are:

LCM Cloud Admin:

Description: This role grants administrative privileges within vRSLCM, including the ability to manage and replace SSL certificates for integrated products like vRLI.

Responsibilities:

Overseeing lifecycle operations for cloud management products.

Managing configurations and performing administrative tasks within vRSLCM.

Certificate Administrator:

Description: This role specifically focuses on certificate management within vRSLCM, allowing the user to import, export, and replace SSL certificates for managed products.

Responsibilities:

Handling certificate-related operations, including replacements and renewals.

Ensuring that all managed products have up-to-date and valid SSL certificates.

Without these roles, the administrator may lack the necessary permissions to access the certificate management features in vRSLCM, thereby hindering the SSL certificate replacement process for vRLI.
