Central Manager will no longer be able to manage Next instances with a Provider if the Provider certificate changes.
Central Manager cannot deploy or delete any instance under that Provider.
-- Central Manager has a Provider configured. -- The Provider certificate changes. -- Central Manager can no longer manage Next instance states via the Provider.
Mitigation: In pre-orange release, do not change the provider certificate once the provider has been managed by CM. Workaround: If provider certificate has been changed in pre-orange release while the provider is managed under CM, update the certificate to be exactly the original certificate.
