Ok so I'm not understanding the syntax for the ovftool in the json file.
Here is the error i'm getting:
Template validation failed. Errors are shown below.
Errors validating build ''. 1 error(s) occurred:
* ovftool validation error: signal: killed; Accept SSL fingerprint
(EF:5E:1D:73:3D:31:88:D0:B2:A7:8F:8B:F9:2A:FC:03:CB:A5:23:FC) for host
10.150.1.35 as source type.
Fingerprint will be added to the known host file
Write 'yes' or 'no'
Here is the line in the json file
"ovftool_options": "--noSSLVerify=yes",
