A is correct, fingerprints only noted when installing GW using webUI first time.

Actually none:
the first time the SmartConsole is used to connect to the Security Management server, the administrator must manually authenticate the Security Management server using its Fingerprint.

@erik The reason that @chuks is correct is because you would need to note the fingerprint from the CLI at setup so that you actually have it when you go to the Smart Console. That verifies that you are connected to the correct machine.

Here B is the correct answer. But the actual answer is ‘During the installation of Management Server’ . That is when the fingerprint is first shown.
