Why each option
To set the Controller Certificate Authorization mode to use a root certificate, you must select a private certificate signing authority and upload the necessary SSL certificate to vManage.
Choosing a private certificate signing authority indicates that you are using an internal or self-signed certificate infrastructure, where a specific root certificate needs to be trusted by vManage.
Changing the organization name of the Cisco SD-WAN fabric is a fabric-wide identifier and does not directly configure the certificate authorization mode for controller trust.
Simply selecting a Cisco-recommended Controller Certificate Authorization mode does not, by itself, indicate or establish trust for a specific root certificate without the underlying certificate management actions.
To enable vManage to trust and authorize controllers using a private or enterprise root certificate, that specific SSL certificate, or its chain, must be explicitly uploaded to vManage.
Selecting a validity period is part of certificate generation, but it is not one of the two primary actions required to set the authorization mode to indicate the use of a root certificate.
