OVA 2.8 template cert expired

[Stefan Muris]

​I saw when downloading Pam version 2.8 for upgrade project, the cert in the OVA file is expired. You can still deploy but you need to unzip the OVA file and not select the cert while deploying. if the cert can be replaced in the OVA that would be nice.

Hi,

There is a relatively easy workaround you can perform on the OVAs that have already been downloaded by using the vmware 'ovftool' app:

ovftool.exe  –skipManifestCheck <SOURCE-PACKAGE-PATH\SOURCE-PACKAGE-FILENAME> <DESTINATION-PACKAGE-PATH\NEW-PACKAGE-FILENAME> 

This is a freely available tool to download and quickly fix this issue.
