Dear Team,

1) What is the use of Thumbprint and Why it's required?

1) Will this thumbprint will get added into NX-T? Yes/No

2) Will NSX-T will use this thumbprint to communicate with VC? Yes/No

3) If NSX-T adds this thumbprint, will VC also add NSX-T Thumbprint into VC? Yes/No

Hi,

Thumbprint is the hash value of the certificate. If you make even a slight change in the certificate such as adding or removing a space, the hash value will change. Thumbprint is not used for communication. It is just used to validate if the certificate is correct or not.
