trustStorePath string
Trust store path
Optional path to a PKCS12 trust store containing the CA certificate(s) used to validate the vCenter/ESXi server's TLS certificate. If omitted (or if the path does not exist), the JVM's default trust store (system CA certificates) is used instead. Certificate validation is always enforced; this plugin never disables TLS certificate validation.
