Custom Properties for OVF Import
When you import an OVF to a blueprint, you can import and configure several settings as custom
properties.
Table 1‑23. Custom Properties for Blueprints In Which An OVF Is Imported
Custom Property Description
VMware.Ovf.Thumbprint
If the OVF resides on an HTTPS server that has a certificate,
this property stores the value of that certificate's thumbprint and
is used to validate that certificate. It has no relevance when the
OVF is hosted on an HTTP server. The property is automatically
created when you import an OVF by using the
ImportOvfWorkflow provisioning workflow in the blueprint
component's user interface. If you create the blueprint
programmatically with vRealize Automation REST APIs or
vRealize CloudClient, you must manually create the property.
Note The thumbprint can be stored in a comma-separated
format to support a certificate chain.
When the VMware.Ovf.TrustAllCertificates is present and
set to true, the VMware.Ovf.Thumbprint property is ignored.
VMware.Ovf.TrustAllCertificates
When this property is present and set to true, the
Vmware.Ovf.Thumbprint property is ignored and no certificate
validation is performed when you import an OVF by using the
ImportOvfWorkflow provisioning workflow.
VMware.Ovf.Configuration.X An OVF can contain user-configurable properties, for example a
property that sets the root password of a VM provisioned from
the OVF. When you import an OVF into a blueprint, the user-
configurable properties that are defined in the OVF are parsed
and converted into custom properties of the form
Vmware.Ovf.Configuration.X, where X is the name of the
user-configurable property from the OVF.
Custom Properties for vRealize Automation Guest Agent
If you have installed the vRealize Automation guest agent in your templates for cloning or in your WinPE,
you can use custom properties to run custom scripts within the guest operating system of a provisioned
machine after the machine is fully deployed.
