(Bare metal) 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.

(Cloud) When you connect to VSP One SDS Block via SSL/TLS communication to perform operations (adding/replacing storage nodes and exporting configuration files) from the REST API, CLI, VSP One SDS Block Administrator (browser), or VSP One SDS Block installer, if the server certificate is not one issued by a trusted Certificate 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.

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

  • (Cloud) If a warning message appears when you perform an operation (adding/replacing storage nodes and exporting configuration files) from the CLI or VSP One SDS Block installer, add the --ignore_certificate_errors option to ignore the warning message.
