Description

Being able to verify that a patch, upgrade, certificate, etc., being added to the web server is unchanged from the producer of the file is essential for file validation and non-repudiation of the information. Expansion modules that are installed on the production Lighttpd web server on vRA must be part of a documented build process. Checksums of the production files must be available to verify their integrity.
