This can be in either PEM format (base64) or DER (binary). --private-key=file The file containing the private key. This can be in either PEM (base64) or DER (binary) format. --private-key-password-file=password-file File containing the private key password. --private-key-password=password The private key password. --digest-type=type Select the cryptographic digest algorithm to use for signing the OVA file. The possible values are : SHA-256 (default), SHA-512 and SHA-1. Some older versions of VMware's OVF Tool command line utility and other VMware products may require the --digest-type=sha-1 option. --pkcs7, --no-pkcs7 Enables or disables the creation of an additional PKCS#7/CMS signature. This is enabled by default. --intermediate-cert=file File containing an intermediary certificate that should be included in the optional PKCS#7/CMS signature. The file can be in either PEM format (base64) or DER (binary). This option can be repeated to add multiple intermediate certificates. This option implies the --pkcs7 option. --force Overwrite existing signature if present. The default behaviour is to fail if the OVA is already signed. --dry-run Do not actually modify the OVA, just test-run the signing operation. -v, --verbose, -q, --quiet Controls the verbosity of the command execution. The --verbose option can be specified multiple times to get more output.
