LDAP authentication for ESXi hosts

• The benefits of enabling LDAP authentication for ESXi hosts?

  Hello

  We have been and need to justify the advantages and disadvantages of joining ESXi hosts to Active Directory?

  Thanks 4 your help.

  I see a benefit for sure you can assign complete administrative privileges to individual users in a group. If you assume a group of 10 directors of ESX, individual users can connect to the host via LDAP. Will they make changes or crash the system, you will know who did it. You can follow the verification very easily using this method. Otherwise, everyone will connect as root, and we do not know who is to blame when something crashed, etc.

  It's pretty easy to join the ESXi host in AD and I don't see any problem that I respect. It is individual decision whether to implement or not.

• Create notification of a particular hardware for ESXi host problem?

  Hello

  One of our 5.1 ESXi hosts is constantly a hardware problem (with hardware alert status).

  We would like to ask for your opinion

  (1) if we create a notification, should we use 'host' alarm?

  (2) is it possible to send a notification to the staff for this particular host with error alarm "host" other than other ESXi hosts (i.e. send to Tony and Stephen for ESXi host A Harware problem BUT only sent to Tony for another hardware ESXi hosts problem)?

  Your opinion is requested.

  Hello

  No, there is no option to select specific host in a cluster. When you set the alarm, it is fixed for the whole army in the cluster.

• For Cloud SGD LDAP authentication for users and administrators

  Hello.

  I recently completed the installation of my new cloud of SGD 12.1.0.3 on Linux 6.4 (on a virtual machine).

  My question is if it is possible (and how) to enable authentication for new administrator SGD through LDAP accounts?

  We have already our VM hosts configured to allow LDAP authentication to theirs, but how to configure WHO to enable LDAP authentication even as users of server?  Because users are in LDAP, they do not have a local account on the servers, and we do not necessarily want users of WHO in order to connect the servers anyway.

  One of the objectives to use LDAP is that we want to allow users to have only to change their domain/LDAP password and everything else is updated.

  I see that when an account is created in the OMS, the user is created in the repository of OMS database.  I really want to restrict not know them to log directly in the database, but do how this is possible.  Can we still use pupbld for this?  Probably not...

  I read the book below the Oracle documentation, but it is for SGD 11.1 and I'm under 12.1.

  But the same year, he was not very descriptive about how to set up.

  It sounds almost as if you had to take the decision to use LDAP for the installation of beginning of WHO.

  I hope not, and I do not remember that as an option that I have installed the SGD.

  Configuration of Oracle Enterprise repository to use external authentication tools - 11 g Release 1 (11.1.1.7)

  Yes, you can still integrate with LDAP.   Please see the documentation here

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E24628_01/doc.121/e36415/sec_features.htm#CJAGHGAH

  EM use WLS for authentication, so everything that is supported by this version of WLS will work.  Documentation received instructions for OAM/OID/HAD and Active Directory are specified.

  Users can be changed to type external if they are already created in the repository with the appropriate connection name.   Otherwise, new users can be created.

  Also be sure to examine the external roles option, which allows you to map a LDAP group to an external role in EM by using the same name and automatically assigning the privileges required by this group.

• Install the HBA drivers for ESXi hosts

  We currently have a plan to install a new system with our spare essentials vCenter license, Emulex HBA cards in the DELL gear that we will make our ESXi hosts.

  
  How to configure adapters HBAS in ESXi, can we recommend has someone already installed drivers Emulex HBA in an ESXi host?

  
  Defining the ESXi host should not be a problem, but it is just to install the drivers in ESXi I'm stumped.

  What version of ESXi, you install? Check the VMware HCL for IO devices and if you HBA is compatible, try to do a default install and maybe the ESXi will recognize and load the drivers without having to do any additional setup.

• Linux for ESXi host hash

  Hi all

  I wonder if the hash of password linux can be used as a hash of password ESXi?

  Comment please if someone has done this or have an idea of the approach to this subject.

  Thank you

  Yes, there is currently a bug of security ESX(I) 4.1 (ESX and ESXi) and the encryption of password of pam_unix module uses "A" versus "MD5". Front of vSphere 4.1, MD5 was the default and apparently something changed which caused his default a weaker encryption algorithm.

  VMware KB article was finally produced by VMware after a member of the community identified this security hole. Here's a blog article I wrote which provides more information - http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2010/07/esxi-41-major-security-issue.html

  If you enable md5, then you can certainly copy the hash of/etc/shadow to your ESXi host, even if I think you're just trying to get the password is encrypted using md5 versus which is solved by editing just the pam module as described in the article.

• OBIEE 101341 &amp; password for ldap authentication

  Hello
  
  We strive to implement LDAP authentication for our users to obiee using ADSI option. The users passwords are encrypted to the LDAP server. Support for OBIEE LDAP authentication mechanism - only clears passwords to verify the credentials of the user?
  
  
  We tried once in the past to set the LDAP authentication, when we were on 782 Analytics Siebel and Oracle said encrypted passwords don't are not supported for LDAP authentication in this version od Siebel Analytics 782. Now that we have upgraded to OBIEE 101341, we want to try again and see. Any body let me know if the OBIEE LDAP authentication mechanism supports passwords encrypted in the clear.
  
  Thank you

  BI Server uses passwords in clear text in the LDAP authentication. Make sure that your LDAP servers are set up to allow this. No support for encrypted password. Hope this helps

• Help: creating a custom LDAP authentication

  Hi all
  
  For some reason I need a LDAP authentication against 2 host servers.
  For this reason that I wrote a function with 2 parameters of user and password. This function is to search on a server to which the user can find and make a simple_bind on the server, return true to bind with success and false for failure.
  

  FUNCTION LDAP_AUTH_GLOBAL_DOMAIN
    ( pUser     IN            VARCHAR2
    , pPassword IN            VARCHAR2 )
  RETURN BOOLEAN
  IS
    l_retval PLS_INTEGER;
    l_session DBMS_LDAP.session;
    l_ldap_port   VARCHAR2(256) := '123';
    l_ldap_host   VARCHAR2(256);
    l_ldap_user   VARCHAR2(256);
    l_ldap_passwd VARCHAR2(256);
    v_login       VARCHAR2(256);
    v_login_result boolean := FALSE;
    v_domain       VARCHAR2(100);
  BEGIN
    BEGIN
      v_domain := GET_DOMAIN_OF_USER( pUser => pUser );
      v_login := v_domain || '\' || pUser;
    
      IF lower(v_domain) = 'mydomain' THEN
        l_ldap_host := 'host.mydomain.com';
      ELSIF lower(v_domain) = 'mydomain2' THEN
        l_ldap_host := 'host.mydomain2.com'';
      END IF;
      
      DBMS_LDAP.USE_EXCEPTION := TRUE;
      --    
      l_session := DBMS_LDAP.init( hostname => l_ldap_host, 
                                   portnum => l_ldap_port);
      l_retval  := DBMS_LDAP.simple_bind_s( ld => l_session, 
                                            dn => v_login, 
                                            passwd => pPassword );
      v_login_result := TRUE;                                      
                                            
      l_retval := DBMS_LDAP.unbind_s( ld => l_session );
      
    EXCEPTION 
      WHEN OTHERS THEN
        v_login_result := FALSE;
    END;  
      
    RETURN v_login_result;
  END LDAP_AUTH_GLOBAL_DOMAIN;

  In the next step, I created a new authentication scheme "Based on the pre-setting plan of the Gallery", entered a name and selected "Custom" as the type of regime.
  The next page, I even ask some values:
  Function name Sentinel-> what I have to do or is there a default check when I leave it empty
  Name of procedure no valid Session-> y at - it a default value, when it is empty
  Name of the function of authentication-> I entered: "return my_auth (: username,: PASSWORD) ' or 'return my_auth' or 'my_auth '.
  Name of the Logoout post-> procedure y at - it a default value, when it is empty
  Activate the attributes Legacy authentication-> does this mean?
  
  On my login page existing I changed nothing, so I still have my processes:
  The Username Cookie value:

  begin
  owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
  owa_cookie.send(
      name=>'LOGIN_USERNAME_COOKIE',
      value=>lower(:P101_USERNAME));
  exception when others then null;
  end;

  Login:

  wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login(
      P_UNAME       => :P101_USERNAME,
      P_PASSWORD    => :P101_PASSWORD,
      P_SESSION_ID  => v('APP_SESSION'),
      P_FLOW_PAGE   => :APP_ID||':1'
      );

  I'm a little uncertain about this logon process, should I change this?
  I've never used custom authentication and cannot find a step-to-step tutorial, by saying what needs to be done.
  
  Thanks for your help
  Chrissy

  Don't know if this is the case, but I think that your authentication functio signature should be:

  FUNCTION LDAP_AUTH_GLOBAL_DOMAIN
    (p_username   IN VARCHAR2,
     p_password   IN VARCHAR2)
  RETURN BOOLEAN
  

• OME 1.3: update R910 5.5 ESXi host through iDrac fails

  OME 1.3 fees deployed on a Server R2 Windows Server 2012. OME server is in the same subnet as the iDRAC.

  OMSA agent for ESXi 5.5 deployed, but not relevant since the updates of the system OME uses iDRAC for ESXi hosts.

  The R910 was discovered and inventoried by WS - MAN on iDRAC and OMSA bot successfully.

  Hi Roger,

  Two questions:

  • What is the version of your R910 iDRAC6?
  • If you run the following command, then what is the result you get?

• How to reach esxi host 5 on storage area network

  I have a Dell PS6000E on my network.  I would like to create a volume on it and use it as a shared storage for a new configuration of esxi5 with 2 hosts.  The PS6000 already contains 2 volumes in use by other servers (physical).  To access the PS6000 via my regular local network hosts.  Is this possible, and is there a documentation on how to put in place?

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community - I guess you access the PS6000E are configured for iSCSI or NAS/NFS, you will be able to access as shared storage long ESXi hosts can reach the unit. Because ESXi hosts will not be able to share the LUNS in use by other servers, you're going to create a new LUN for ESXi hosts. This storage of ESXi - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-storage-guide.pdf - guide that has information on how to configure your ESXi servers to access the storage.
