Explanation
The virtual appliance (VA) private key is not stored in both the IdentityNow tenant and the VA. The VA private key, which is critical for secure communications, is stored only on the Virtual Appliance (VA) itself. It is used to authenticate and encrypt communications between the VA and the IdentityNow tenant. Storing such sensitive information in the IdentityNow tenant would violate best practices for key management and security. Instead, the IdentityNow tenant only holds the public key or a reference to the key to facilitate secure exchanges with the VA. The private key remains secured locally within the VA, protecting it from potential security vulnerabilities associated with external storage.
