View and update StorageGRID certificates in the NetApp Console

Contributors netapp-tonias

A management interface certificate is required on your StorageGRID system before you discover the system from the NetApp Console. The certificate provides a secure connection between the Console and StorageGRID. Since certificates can expire, you occasionally might need to view the status or update a certificate.

Required NetApp Console role:

Storage admin. Learn about NetApp Console access roles.
