Supported Encryption Certificate algorythms?

Is there a document/vmware webpage, which lists all the vmware versions and what Encryption Certificate algorithms  (such as SHA-1, SHA-2) that is supported?

Thanks for any help.

As there is no product specified, the scope can be quite wide. But anyway, here are two VMware KB links for starters:

Status of TLSv1.1/1.2 Enablement and TLSv1.0 Disablement across VMware products (2145796) | VMware K...

Ciphers supported on ESX/ESXi and vCenter Server (1018510) | VMware KB

Thanks Blue,

The product is is vcenter and server 6.0.0, at the moment (could expand to v.5.x or possibly v.4)  Am potentially looking into using SHA-2 certificates as oppose to SHA-1 from an independent CA.  Just trying to find some concrete documentation to confirm it does.

Found some evidence of SHA256 being used from various blogs/articles in v.5 and 6....

Still could not find a basic vmware document (much likes Blues Cyphor document) stating what Algorythms work with what products/OS, but something is better than nothing.
