VMware fix for Invalid manifest and ova file import failed errors

Image
Recently we got a OVA file for a virtual machine. The vendor instructions were to import the ova file in vmware Workstation, Player for Windows/Linux, Fusion for Mac, and VirtualBox as well.  The instructions were to take the available package and launch the VM with VMware workstation. The package contained  Module.mf, Module.ovf and Module-disk.vmdk and a Module.ova file. The .mf and .ovf file were 2 KB each whereas the vmdk was several gigs. The package also contained a Module.ova file which was several gigs as well.

CMU allows the Oracle database to perform user authentication and authorization directly against AD. Benefits of CMU With centrally managed users, users accessing the database can be centrally managed to improve an organization's security posture. An enterprise user (a user in Microsoft Active Directory) can be exclusively mapped to a database account, or many enterprise users (in an Microsoft Active Directory group) can be mapped to a shared account in the database. Microsoft Active Directory groups can also be mapped to a database global role, which provides users with additional privilege
