Add a vCAC Host Handshake Alert

I am trying to write some workflows for vCAC, but first I need to add the vCAC host to vCO. When I try to run the 'Add vCAC Host' workflow it dies right away with the error 'handshake alert:  unrecognized_name'

This is running against vCAC 6.1 using vCO 5.5.2

Any thoughts on the fix?

Right click the workflow and select copy. You have to do that because the built-in workflows are locked so you can't edit them. If you copy them, you'll be able to edit that copy.

Yeah that's a kown issue with several versions of the vCAC plugin.

A workaround is to add the vCAC certificate to vCO by running the certificate workflows and force ignore of all certificate errors, then copy the add vCAC host workflow and remove the certificate verification part (which is not needed anymore). I'm pretty sure it's been discussed somewhere here already...

OK, dumb question. How do I copy it? Do I just copy the code into a new workflow?
