(Virtual machine) When you connect to VSP One SDS Block via SSL/TLS communication to perform operations (such as adding/replacing storage nodes, changing/setting configuration information, and importing/exporting configuration files) from the REST API, CLI, or VSP One SDS Block Administrator (browser) or maintenance node, if the server certificate is not one issued by a trusted certification authority, a warning message about the server certificate appears. To resolve this issue, import a server certificate issued by a trusted Certificate Authority to VSP One SDS Block.

(Bare metal)(Cloud) When you connect to VSP One SDS Block via SSL/TLS communication to perform operation from the REST API, CLI, or VSP One SDS Block Administrator (browser), if the server certificate is not one issued by a trusted certification authority, a warning message about the server certificate appears. To resolve this issue, import a server certificate issued by a trusted Certificate Authority to VSP One SDS Block.

Also, confirm whether the requirements shown in Client requirements for SSL/TLS communication are met.

You can still make an SSL/TLS connection in this case. However, it will not be secure. (The connection is encrypted but the destination is not authenticated.)

  • If you see a warning in the REST API, add or optionally ignore certificate warnings according to the program or command that issues the REST API.

  • If this warning appears while you are using a web browser, click "Continue to this website". The operation differs slightly depending on the web browser you use.

  • (Virtual machine) If a warning message appears when you perform an operation (such as adding/replacing storage nodes, changing/setting configuration information, or importing/exporting configuration files) from the CLI or maintenance node, add the --ignore_certificate_errors option to ignore the warning message.

  • (Bare metal)(Cloud) If a warning message appears when you perform an operation from the CLI, add the --ignore_certificate_errors option to ignore the warning message.
