Provision to VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (AVI)

Use this procedure to provision a certificate from Next-Gen Trust Security to a VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (AVI) machine.
  1. Sign in to Next-Gen Trust Security.
  2. Click Insights > Machines.
  3. Select the VMware NSX ALB (AVI) machine you want to provision a certificate to.
  4. Click Provision a certificate.
  5. From Choose a certificate from the inventory, search for and select the certificate you want to provision.
    Verify that you selected the correct certificate by reviewing the Subject DN, Validity, and Fingerprint.
  6. In Certificate Name, enter the name you want the certificate to use on the VMware NSX ALB (AVI).
    What if the certificate name is already in use?
    When provisioning a certificate, Next-Gen Trust Security checks whether the name already exists on the VMware NSX ALB (AVI):
    • If the name is not in use, it is applied as entered.
    • If the name is already in use by the same certificate, that certificate is reused.
    • If the name is in use by a different certificate, Next-Gen Trust Security creates a new unique name by appending the expiration date and a numeric suffix (for example, my-cert-name_22Oct05_3117).
  7. (Optional) In Tenant, enter the name of the tenant that owns the virtual service.
    Note: If the virtual service belongs to the default admin tenant, this field can be left empty.
  8. In Virtual Service, enter the name of the virtual service to associate with the certificate.
  9. (Optional) To prevent the certificate from being pushed immediately, set Push upon saving to No.
  10. Click Save.
After saving, Next-Gen Trust Security provisions the certificate to the specified VMware NSX ALB (AVI) tenant and updates the virtual service. An installation record is created on the Installations tab.
