Getting root certificates

The Get-HPESvtRootCertificate cmdlet returns an array of X509Certificate2 objects from the vCenter Server. This cmdlet does not require that you authenticate.

When you use this cmdlet, you must independently verify that the certificate is what you expect it to be because the command does not perform validation checks on the certificate.
