Disable Certification Validation in VMware NSX-T

When using uncertified GigaVUE V Series Node image, due to certificate validation requirement in VMware NSX-T, GigaVUE V Series Node deployment may fail. Before deploying the GigaVUE V Series Nodes, disable the certificate validation as follows.

  1. Login to each NSX-T manager using CLI with root credentials.
  2. Open /config/vmware/auth/ovf_validation.properties file
  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 and Exit the file.
