Replacing the Certificate
This is the third post in a series tackling the extra certificates you may want to replace once you have deployed vRealize Automation.
There are plenty of articles on changing the SSL certificate for this website https://vra-fqdn:8283/vco-vcoconfigurator on an External instance of vRealize Orchestrator, most notably is @SpasKaloferov ’s post http://kaloferov.com/blog/how-to-change-the-ssl-certificate-of-a-vro-appliance-7-x/
