In one embodiment, a virtual appliance generation system receives from a client via a communications link a selection identifier associated with a capability of a virtual appliance module, accesses an authorization value associated with the capability of the virtual appliance module in response to the receiving, and stores an identifier of the capability of the virtual appliance module within a virtual appliance descriptor. The authorization value is also stored within the virtual appliance descriptor. A digest based on the virtual appliance descriptor is generated and a virtual appliance container including a portion of the virtual appliance module, the virtual appliance descriptor, and the digest is generated. The virtual appliance generation system then provides the virtual appliance container to the client. |
