VA Setup UI Suggestion

When setting up a new VA, you’re presented with the below instructions.

I believe that step 5 should include a caveat about keyPassphrase about the requirements. As noted in step 11 in the documentation, there are several listed requirements. I believe at least The keyPassphrase cannot start with a special character, and cannot include !, /, \, or spaces. should be included in the ISC UI so that customers or partners setting up a VA for the first time can see this important information as I feel it is buried way too deep in the documentation.

As a partner, I’ve seen several situations when a client spins up a cluster on their own and doesn’t know this and it causes deployment issues.

To add to this, there should be some error validation or indicator if an invalid keypassphrase is used, I’ve also been in a situation where a VA says it was set up successfully and is reporting as healthy but the keypassphrase is invalid and aggregations would not work.
