Hi all,

using VMware.PowerCLI Core 12.0.0.15947286 on Linux VM. Trying to import an item into vCenter content librarywhich fails with "The certificate is self-signed. The certificate is not trusted..". The certificate check is set to "Ignore" in PowerCLI configuration.

I don't see any options in New-ContentLibraryItem cmdlet to allow untrusted cert. How can I get the OVA imported when vCenter cert is self-signed? Thanks!

PS /home/user> $localContentLibrary = Get-ContentLibrary -Name 'Local library'

PS /home/user> New-ContentLibraryItem -ContentLibrary $localContentLibrary -Name 'nsx-unified-appliance-2.5.1.0.0.15314292' -Files "./tmp/nsx-unified-appliance-2.5.1.0.0.15314292.ova"

An error occurred while trying to update content library item's files. For more details check the inner exception.

vCenter error:

The import of library item 48d9ec5f-5fae-4905-adb1-2bbfa2d5aee1 has failed. Reason: The certificate is self-signed. The certificate is not trusted..

PS /home/user/tmp> Get-PowerCLIConfiguration | select  InvalidCertificateAction
