By setting Docker environment variables: DOCKER_CERT_PATH= client_certificate_pathДOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1The client_certificate_path should contain the cert.pem and key.pem files, as well as the ca.pem file for the CA chain that signed the VCH server certificate.

You must also add -tlscacert if the server certificate is signed by a custom Certificate Authority (CA).

By using the -tlsverify, -tlscert, and -tlskey options when you run Docker commands.

You can provide the client certificate to the Docker client in either of the following ways: You must obtain a copy of the client certificate that was either used or generated when the vSphere administrator deployed the VCH. This configuration is commonly referred to as tlsverify in documentation about containers and Docker.

If the VCH implements mutual authentication between the Docker client and the VCH by using both client and server certificates, you must provide a client certificate to the Docker client so that the VCH can verify the client's identity.

If the VCH implements any level of TLS authentication, you connect to the VCH at vch_address:2376 when you run Docker commands.

How you connect to your virtual container host (VCH) depends on the security options with which the vSphere administrator deployed the VCH.

Install the vSphere Integrated Containers Registry Certificate.The supported version of the Docker API is 1.25. VSphere Integrated Containers Engine 1.5 supports Docker client 1.13.0.

If your container development environment uses vSphere Integrated Containers, you must run Docker commands with the appropriate options, and configure your Docker client accordingly.
