Which three options are available for replacing vCenter Server Security Certificates?

Replace with Certificates signed by the VMware Certificate Authority.
Make VMware Certificate Authority an Intermediate Certificate Authority.
Do not use VMware Certificate Authority, provision your own Certificates.
Use SSL Thumbprint mode.

The correct answer is: Replace with Certificates signed by the VMware Certificate Authority.

Replacing vCenter Server Security Certificates is crucial for ensuring secure communication between components in the VMware environment. When you choose to replace the certificates with those signed by the VMware Certificate Authority, you are leveraging a trusted entity within the VMware ecosystem. This method simplifies the certificate management process, ensuring that by using VMware's own certificates, compatibility and integration within the VMware infrastructure are maintained. This approach not only enhances security but also streamlines the deployment process since VMware's Certificate Authority is designed to work seamlessly with VMware products, reducing the chances of configuration errors that could arise from manually managing custom certificates. Utilizing the VMware Certificate Authority is considered a best practice, especially for users who prefer less complexity in managing their security credentials. This option allows administrators to avoid potential complications that may arise from using externally sourced certificates or self-signed ones.
