Explanation
VCF Operations enforces strict certificate format validation when importing certificate chains. According to VMware Cloud Foundation 9.x certificate management requirements, all uploaded certificates must be PEM-encoded. A PEM certificate must contain: ASCII-encoded content Proper headers such as: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- -----END CERTIFICATE----- If the certificate is encoded in DER, PFX, PKCS#12, or any non-PEM format, VCF Operations will reject the upload with the error: "The provided certificate content is invalid." This matches the behavior described in the question.
