Type of problem?

Documentation issue

No official documentation is available for changing oVirt host's SSL certificates from self-signed to third-party. There is official documentation available for this process on the ovirt-engine server but not for host servers. I found documentation on GitHub but it did not work for implementing third-party certs on host servers.

GitHub documentation found here

Help needed from @oVirt/ovirt-documentation

It's not supported to use third party certification authority for communication between oVirt Engine and oVirt hosts. This communication if fully encrypted using oVirt internal CA with followwing renewal process:

  1. oVirt hosts certificates are automatically reneweed during host upgrade (more details in https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/index.html#Updating_a_host_between_minor_releases)
  2. oVirt hosts certificates can be manually renewed using Enroll certificates action for a specific host
  3. oVirt Engine certificate or oVirt Engine CA certificate can be renewed by running engine-setup (more details in https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/index.html#chap-Renewing_certificates_RHV_backup_restore)

Custom certificate authority can used only for oVirt Engine HTTP certificate, more details can be found at https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/index.html#Replacing_the_Manager_CA_Certificate
