retrieves the saved certificate, and sends a connection request to HP 3PAR StoreServ with the
certificate details. If the HP 3PAR StoreServ certificate is the same as the one specified in the request,
and if there are no other connection issues, then a connection is successfully established.
However, if there are no saved certificates in the RMV database, then the RMV web service sends
a connect request to HP 3PAR StoreServ without the server certificate. If HP 3PAR StoreServ has a
CA (Certificate Authority) signed certificate installed on the server, then a connection is successfully
established. However, if the connection fails due to SSL certificate issue, then the RMV web service
passes the server certificate to RMV. This certificate is also displayed in the GUI. You must verify
the certificate and respond to the server by accepting or rejecting the certificate. If you reject the
certificate, then the connection process stops with an invalid server certificate error message. Else,
the RMV web service re-sends a connect request using the certificate accepted by you. If there are
no other connection issues, then the connection is successfully established. You can also save this
accepted certificate in the RMV server database. If the server certificate is not changed and is not
expired, then the connection is directly established, without any verification, when you login the
next time.
