The Image Profile and VIB Acceptance Levels must be verified.
Description
Discussion Text
The ESXi Image profile supports four acceptance levels:
(1) VMwareCertified - VIBs created, tested and signed by VMware
(2) VMwareAccepted - VIBs created by a VMware partner but tested and signed by VMware
(3) PartnerSupported - VIBs created, tested and signed by a certified VMware partner
(4) CommunitySupported - VIBs that have not been tested by VMware or a VMware partner
Community Supported VIBs are not supported and do not have a digital signature. An unsigned VIB represents untested code installed on an ESXi host. To protect the security and integrity of an ESXi host, unsigned (CommunitySupported) VIBs must not be installed.
