OVA file not deploying properly after downloading from SecureAuth

Version Affected:  19.07+

Description:  

After downloading and attempting to import the SecureAuth OVA file, you may get the error message, "The provided manifest file is invalid: Invalid OVF checksum algorithm: SHA1(IdP_One_Image_CB-0.0.7-144", from the vSphere Server.

Cause:  

The SecureAuth OVA is signed as SHA1 but vSphere is expecting it to be signed with SHA256. This issue has been seen while importing to vSphere 6.5+

Resolution:  

In order to resolve this, the OVFTool will need to be downloaded from VMware and convert the image to use SHA256. Here is a link to the OVFTool Download:
https://code.vmware.com/web/tool/4.4.0/ovf

This would be the type of command you would want to run against the OVF downloaded from the SecureAuth website:

   ovftool.exe --shaAlgorithm=SHA256 /path/to/ova_file.ova /path/to/new/ova_file-SHA256.ova


When running the tool, this is what you will see:
​

And when finished, see the below:


After the OVFTOOL completes, deploying the OVA should work without issue.
