Title Fixed "The OVF package is invalid" issue with vSphere client (1.3.19 regression)
Date Mar 27, 2018
Appliance Version 1.3.20
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

The Check_MK virt1 OVF package was build with a newer ovftool version which changed some hashing algorithm from SHA1 to SHA256, which is a good idea in general. Sadly this hashing algorithm is not supported by at least some versions of the the vSphere client (See https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2151537).

We have now switched the hashing algorithm back to SHA1 to be more compatible.
