@jitinkumar2018 this is by design, as we need to auto registration vic-ui to vcenter. please contact @wjun if you still have further questions,

@renmaosheng Thanks for the clarification
@stuclem Documentation can be updated to include thumbprint value in json payload (https://vmware.github.io/vic-product/assets/files/html/1.4/vic_vsphere_admin/ova_reg_api.html)
