# Sync certificates to Nutanix Prism Central

> Update certificates on your Nutanix clusters.

Install certificates managed in Infisical directly on your Nutanix clusters. When a certificate is renewed, it's automatically updated on the cluster with no manual intervention required.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Certificate Syncs are configured per Application. First select which certificate to sync, then configure the Nutanix Prism Central destination.

## Prerequisites

Before setting up the sync, gather the following from your Nutanix environment:

* A **Nutanix Prism Central** instance reachable from Infisical over HTTPS (hostname or IP address, port default `9440`), either directly or via an [Infisical Gateway](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/gateways/overview.md).
* A Prism Central account or API key with the **Cluster Admin** role on the target cluster.
* A [Nutanix Prism Central Connection](https://infisical.com/docs/integrations/app-connections/nutanix-prism-central.md) correctly configured.

## Create a Nutanix Prism Central sync

> [tab] Infisical UI
>
> 1. In your Application, go to the **Certificate Syncs** tab and select **Create Sync**.
>
> 2. Select the **Nutanix Prism Central** option.
>
> 3. Configure the **Destination**:
>    * **Nutanix Prism Central Connection**: Choose the connection to authenticate with.
>    * **Cluster**: From the list of clusters available in Prism Central, select the target cluster.
>
> 4. Configure the **Sync Options**:
>    * **Auto-Sync Enabled**: Automatically update the certificate on the Nutanix cluster whenever it is renewed or updated in Infisical.
>
> 5. Configure the **Details**:
>    * **Name**: A name for this sync.
>    * **Description**: Optional description.
>
> 6. Select the **Certificate Order** to sync. A certificate order is a certificate together with its renewals.
>
> 7. Review and click **Create Sync**.

> [tab] API
>
> To create a **Nutanix Prism Central Certificate Sync**, make an API request to the [Create Nutanix Prism Central PKI Sync](https://infisical.com/docs/api-reference/endpoints/pki/syncs/nutanix-prism-central/create.md) API endpoint.
>
> ### Sample request
>
> > [!NOTE]
> >
> > Pass `filters` to describe the certificate this sync holds. This destination holds one certificate, so the
> > filters have to match exactly one. Omit it and the sync starts empty, and you can set filters later.
> > See [Certificate filters](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/pki/applications/certificate-syncs/overview#certificate-filters).

## How it works

Infisical automatically keeps your Nutanix Prism Central cluster certificate in sync:

* Replaces the cluster's SSL certificate and private key whenever the certificate changes in Infisical.

The cluster begins using the new certificate within a few seconds, with no restart required.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Each Nutanix Prism Central sync targets a single cluster. To update multiple clusters, create one sync per cluster.

## Certificate management

The Nutanix Prism Central Certificate Sync provides:

* **Automatic Deployment**: Replace the SSL certificate on the target Nutanix cluster whenever the synced certificate changes in Infisical.
* **Certificate Updates**: Push renewed certificates to the cluster automatically when auto-sync is enabled.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Certificate removal isn't supported for Nutanix Prism Central. A cluster always has exactly one active SSL certificate, which can only be replaced, not deleted.
>
> For the same reason, this destination doesn't support [certificate filters](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/pki/applications/certificate-syncs/overview#certificate-filters). Select the certificate you want instead.

## Manual certificate sync

You can manually trigger certificate synchronization to the Nutanix cluster using the sync certificates functionality. This is useful for:

* Initial setup when deploying a certificate to a cluster for the first time
* Testing certificate sync configurations
* Force sync after making changes

To manually sync certificates, use the [Sync Certificates](https://infisical.com/docs/api-reference/endpoints/pki/syncs/nutanix-prism-central/sync-certificates.md) API endpoint or the manual sync option in the Infisical UI.

## Certificate renewal behavior

When a certificate is renewed in Infisical, the renewed certificate is automatically pushed to the Nutanix cluster on the next sync. If **Auto-Sync** is enabled, this happens without any manual action.

## FAQ

> [accordion] Can I import certificates from Nutanix back into Infisical?
>
> No. The Nutanix API doesn't allow private key extraction, so importing certificates from Nutanix into Infisical isn't supported.

> [accordion] What happens if my Prism Central uses a self-signed TLS certificate?
>
> When creating the App Connection, disable the **Reject Unauthorized** option to allow connections to Prism Central instances with self-signed or untrusted TLS certificates. Use this only in trusted network environments.

> [accordion] Which Nutanix API version is used?
>
> Infisical uses the **Nutanix Clustermgmt API v4.2** to manage SSL certificates on clusters.

> [accordion] Do I need to restart the cluster after updating the certificate?
>
> No restart is required. Nutanix applies the new SSL certificate as an async task. Infisical waits for the task to complete before marking the sync as successful.
