My company, of course maintains a support contract with vmware so I can get support whenever I need it. Log in to the myvmware portal to get your license keys. Be aware, though that it keeps no history of your keys- so save the ones there in another safe place before you move up to the next major version of software.

VMware NSX customers who have purchased new licenses (NSX-T Professional, NSX-T Advanced, NSX-T Enterprise Plus, NSX-T Robo) after October 1, 2021 either as part of their expansion or renewal cycle are provided licenses from a new NSX-T dormant license file (DLF). This new license key is accepted only in a limited number of NSX versions (table below). If the key is not accepted by NSX Manager, an error "invalid license key" is shown.

TKGI customers who have bought new Tanzu licenses which gave them access to NSX-T are also provided with license keys from NSX-T DLF. If the customer is not running the below mentioned versions of NSX, then they will run into the licensing error "invalid license key."

I have a problem that the IIS administration service can no longer be started.
I ran the software in my virtual environment for testing, after moving the server to my VMWare environment, the IIS admin service fails to start.

IIS Admin Service allows IIS metabase administration which is used to store SMTP and FTP configuration. If you see this service stopped in the Services window, server will be unable to configure SMTP or FTP. When you try to start IIS Admin...

But the Certifytheweb program changes something in the system.
As already described, this error only occurs if I have installed certify the web.
I have 2 completely identical VMs
VM1 with certify the web program
VM2 without certify the web program

Do hyper-v and vmware install their own extensions to the VM and if so does something need to be removed or disabled after the machine is moved? Is something resetting the machine keys for Local System?

VMware Cloud Foundation 4.0 on Dell EMC VxRail introduces support of workload domain deployment and operations utilizing the public API interface. In this multi-part blog series, we will provide guidance on how to use these new APIs to perform common deployments and operations. In Part 1 of the blog series, we will walk you through the steps to deploy a new workload domain while Part 2 will cover various workload domain related operations.

Please complete VCF on VxRail management domain bring up following the standard process. Once the SDDC Manager is up and running the Workload Domain operations can be done via public api as detailed below.

If the Access token expires, a Refresh token will need to be obtained. A refresh token can be used any number of times to obtain an access token until it has not expired or been revoked. To check if any API call is failing due to expired token, review the log file /var/log/vmware/vcf/domainmanager/domainmanager.log. Sample error message is given below. Follow the API guidance to obtain the Refresh token.

Prepare Workload Domain jsonThe VCF-VxRail Workload domain deploys an additional vCenter Server Appliance for the new domain within the management domain. By leveraging a separate vCenter Server instance per domain, software updates can be applied without impacting other domains. It also allows for each domain to have additional isolation as needed.

Once the vCenter appliance has been deployed, the next task would be to create a local user in the vCenter server. Once the workload domain nodes have been imaged, perform the VxRail first run of the workload domain nodes using the external vCenter Server. More detailed steps are available here.

When Secure Boot is enabled, the computer's Linux kernel checks the PKI signature of each kernel module before it is loaded. It does not load unsigned kernel modules, nor modules with invalid signatures. These agent features install the following kernel modules:

Before you enroll them on Secure Boot computers, you must first download the Trend Micro public keys to be used to validate kernel module signatures. If you have trouble downloading the key files, right-click and select Save Link As.

You also must download the intermediate certificate authority (CA) certificates that are required to validate the signing chain on the Trend Micro public keys. The CA certificates are X.509 v3 CRT files encoded in DER format:

In every major release of the agent (for example, agent 12.0 and 20.0), Trend Micro refreshes the public keys for Secure Boot kernel module signatures. New kernel module signatures cannot be validated with an old public key. As a result, when you upgrade the agent, you must also enroll the new public key.

You must include all existing Secure Boot keys when you enter this command, as it overwrites all existing keys. If you do not include them, they will be deleted and their kernel modules will not load.

Follow these steps to enroll a Secure Boot key for the VMware vSphere virtualization platform, unless the computer uses the release earlier than the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 3 (UEK R6U3) for Oracle Linux:

Add the Trend Micro public keys to the MOK list, separating multiple keys with a space (if applicable). The following example shows the command to execute if Deep Security Agent version earlier than 20.0.0.7119 is used:

On the releases earlier than the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 3 (UEK R6U3) for Oracle Linux, Secure Boot requires slightly different procedure. With UEK, the kernel only trusts keys that are in the built-in keyring. Therefore, the kernel must be recompiled with the Trend Micro public keys, and since that changes the kernel itself, you must also sign the new kernel boot image.

CipherTrust Manager is the center of the CipherTrust Data Security Platform. It serves as the central point for managing configuration, policy and key material for data discovery, encryption, on-premise and cloud based use cases. It is the successor to both the Thales eSecurity (formerly Vormetric) DSM and the Gemalto (formerly SafeNet) KeySecure platforms.

The 2.8.1 release includes some stability fixes described in the resolved issues list. This release is available as an upgrade file. The upgrade can be applied directly on CipherTrust Manager versions 2.8.x, 2.7.x, 2.6.x, and 2.5.x.

New licensing model for Virtual CipherTrust Manager. All Virtual CipherTrust Managers 2.8 or higher launch in Community Edition, with restrictions on functionality. From that mode, you can choose to start a 90-day trial with full features, or apply a purchased license.

To fetch all keys, it is recommended to use KeyNamesRequest instead of KeyQueryRequest. The KeyQueryRequest response time is proportional to the number of keys on the CipherTrust Manager, hence may lead to a timeout exception on the client side.

During client renewal, if another client (which has Auth mode set to DN) already exists in the system with a matching subject DN, the client renewal may fail. This applies to external or local CA clients. For external CA certificates, delete the client to be renewed and register a new client with a new certificate and different subject DN.
However, for local CAs, it is not required to delete the client to be renewed, rather set the do_not_modify_subject_dn field to false. Refer to Renewing Local CA Clients for details.

GUI enhancements including support for new AWS regions and a separate tab for Azure subscriptions. The GUI also includes the ability to filter asymmetric AWS keys based on their usage (whether they are created for encrypt/decrypt or sign/verify operations).

Capability to audit CTE operations on the CipherTrust Manager. Now, all create, update, and delete operations performed on the CTE resources are logged under Records > Server Records on the CipherTrust Manager.

Added capability to update security configuration parameters after CTE client registration. This capability is applicable to CTE clients that support new parameters. Every parameter has the fixed set of values. Refer to the CTE Agent documentation for compatible versions and dynamic parameters.

Introduced a new endpoint that will be used by the CTE Agent to continuously monitor the VMD status. If VMD fails, vmutil on the CTE Agent uses this endpoint to update the CipherTrust Manager about the VMD status.

A new licensing model (Thales CipherTrust Manager Community Edition) introduced, which includes CTE for Kubernetes. If your CTE for Kubernetes license is unavailable or has expired, license enforcement switches to the Community Edition.

CTE resources of Efficient Storage and Container policies on the DSM cannot be migrated to the CipherTrust Manager 2.8 using the backup/restore method. The Container policies are supported only on the DSM. However, Efficient Storage resources can be manually created on the CipherTrust Manager. Migration of Efficient Storage resources will be supported in a future release.
