Issue/Introduction

Is there a place to validate the checksum of the OVA/zip downloaded from your site?

Environment

CA Developer Portal 5.3.x

 

Resolution

1. Gw11.1 base Layer7_API_Gateway_Virtual_Debian_Appliance_OVA_11.1.00.zip for gateway 11.1 from our support site produces a MD5 hash of 

Sha2  :  42222ead8437ef8d94aa1e743f9d480f13139756a616063d26ecd57930997dbe 

MD5 :   78d7c038d67d2d637560ee0b6d4ed496
