Disable Certification Validation in VMware NSX-T

If you use an uncertified GigaVUE V Series Node image, the deployment may fail due to VMware NSX-T's certificate validation requirements. To avoid this issue, disable certificate validation before deploying the node.

To disable Certificate Validation,

1. Using CLI with root credentials, log in to each NSX-T manager.
2. In a text editor, open the file: /config/vmware/auth/ovf_validation.properties
3. Set a value for THIRD_PARTY_OVFS_VALIDATION_FLAG as 2. The definition of the legends are as follows:
   • 0: only VMware-signed OVFs are allowed for deployment
   • 1: only VMware-signed and well-known CA-signed OVFs are allowed for deployment
   • 2: no validation
4. Save the file and exit the editor.
