vCenter server to active directory

According to best practices of VMware.

You must add the vcenter server to active directory?

Yes, it is recommended. However, I usually deploy vcenter for my tests and almost 99% of the time, I didn't add VM vCenter to the domain and it works perfectly for me in the test environment. Later, I use to add domains as the source of identity to give permission to the domain users.

If the production environment, it is always better to add to the domain.

    Hello experts,

    I wonder if it's possible/supported to join the vCenter Server Appliance for a small business 2011 Active Directory Windows Server (basically a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory).

  • How the Network Server 2003 Active Directory, DNS, DHCP with other virtual machines

    Hi ~

    I am trying to create a network within the workstation test environment. I did research on everyday and can't find a direct answer. I want to do is use the Server 2003 functions and create my own private network with the 2 other VMS XP Active Directory domain controller. I want both of these XP machines to be able to log into the domain of the 2003 server. I have never used or learned 2003 server, that's why I do this.

    What do I need to create a custom network? can I use bridged, host-only, nat? Stop the service DHCP from Vmware workstation?

    What is your host operating system and how to get its IP address? What is the result of: ipconfig/all in Windows or Linux ifconfig-a?

    Disable the firewall during installation.

    I don't think that the network connection is all that matters (if you care on the internet or a local area network LAN) for guests, while they are the same. I always use filled but the only thing that really counts, IMHO, is that the host, guests of the XP and W2003 prompt are all on the same subnet and the server has a static IP address.

    I almost always use open for all guests. I put all the guests for static IP addresses on the same subnet as the host. I put the DNS server for XP clients to the IP address of the host to W2003. I have install the DNS role on W2003 server and then install the role of domain controller (AD), with the help of a domain name like lousdomain.local. Then you should be able to join XP guests to this area.

    It's all exactly the same as if it was real machines.

    My default installation is filled with the IP host is defined on 10.0.3.5, a gateway of 10.0.3.1 (my ADSL router), my server W2003 (or W2008) the 10.0.3.4 value and guests XP, the value to something like 10.0.3.6, 10.0.3.7 etc. Again, once again, is not the same as little care as long as they are on the same subnet.

    What are the errors you get when you try to set up?

    What you get from ipconfig/all on each of the guests?

  • vCenter operations and Active Directory

    Hello

    It is said in the vmware documentation recommends using AD users to work with vCenter operations but I can't find the procedure to integrate?

    does anyone know the procedure?

    Thank you very much

    You should be able to access the user interface using your accounts of vsphere vCenter, however if you set up a new role with specific permissions, make sure that the "Global > vCenter Operations Manager Admin" or "Global > vCenter Operations Manager User" privelge is enabled for these roles.

  • vCenter permissions Riddle - Active Directory

    Points to the first person to understand.

    Here's my question:

    I VC1 Domain1 Domain2, Domain1 domainlocalgroup1, user1 in Domain2.  VC1 is member of Domain1.

    example 1

    If I add user1 in Domain2 as read only on VC1 and attempt to connect on VC1, I can't.  VC newspapers report that the user does not exist and he tries to question User1 Domain1.  If I add domain2\user1, I am able to connect.

    example 2

    If I add domainlocalgroup1 as read only in VC1 and then add user1 Domain2 to domainlocalgroup1 in domain1.  I can't log on as User1.  If I connect you as domain2\user1 I am able to connect.  (FYI, in this example, the user domain2\user1 removed VC permissions).

    When you view to the User1 memerships it does not list the members of the domain local group in domain1.  When you list belonging to domainlocalgroup1 it lists user1 in Domain2.

    My question is how the VC validates the user in the example 2?  If I'm unable to log on as a user just, I guess that VC is not able to validate me because he leans on Domain1.  But when I connect you as domain2\user1 I am able to connect.  I guess that the VC is the search for the user in Domain2, but example2 user only has permission for VC via the domainlocalgroup1 in domain1.  How the VC valid user1 example2?

    Enigma level - Genius

    My critical Business Tech, who is an expert on VC did not.

    Example 1 - as expected. (a) VC does not know the context of the User1, so guess its Domain1... rejects the connection.  (b) you provide the context and it works very well.  That is right.

    Example 2 - just as expected as well.  When you view memberships, you won't see any local groups other domains listed in the properties of the user (all the same way, you will not see local groups on member servers that the user is a member within its own domain). I'm surprised VC lists domainlocal... My first thought is, you have VC installed on a domain controller? Or have you it on a member server with a local group on the server? Whatever it is, Virtual Center will turn to the Group and it does exactly what that his supposed, it detects the domain2\user1 as a member of this group, validates the credentials of User1 against Domain2 and you allow in. (assuming that generic w2k3 ad with transitive trust relationships)

    We would like to know what will be the change that we need for users in vCenter Server for Active Directory?

    Currently, we just create vCenter users and assign different roles.

    Not necessarily, it depends on how you want to run it. But it is easier to go with domain accounts.

  • Users of Active Directory cannot connect to vCenter 5 device via vSphere Client

    I'm unable to use credentials to access AD unit vCenter 5 via the vSphere client. I get an error message that I can log in because of 'incorrect user or password name' I am able to connect with this AD username and password for my vCenter 4.1, and environment to my RDP hosts by using the credentials of the AD, if AD works very well. And the password that I entered is correct.

    I could connect with AD credentials two weeks ago. Two weeks ago I stopped being able to connect with the credentials of the AD. I dropped back to the use of the local access through the vSphere client root user login. It seems that two weeks ago, my Oracle user passwords has expired. I fixed that by connecting to the EM console and responding to the command prompt to change the passwords. I've "changed" them to return the same password. Then, I subsequently put the limit password_life_time unlimited in the default profile. I tested since the vCSA admin interface the database settings. The settings saved and restarted the service VPXD.

    I have a 5.0.0 - 455964 vCenter device connected to an Oracle database. I activated the AD authentication in vCenter web admin GUI. I restarted vCenter Server Appliance after you have enabled this feature. I have validated that the time on the device of vCenter and the Active Directory zone are less than one second on the other. DNS forward and reverse unit number of AD and self-esteem are good. DNS is hosted on the AD controller, so I have connectivity between vCenter and AD. I run the query domainjoin-cli command and output is correct. I checked from the vSphere that my AD user customer and the ad group each received the Administrator role for the vCenter in the permissions screen object.

    Any ideas where to look next?

  • Windows Server 2008 R2, with two Windows Storage Server 2003 Standard: How can I add the MAC authentication on top of Active Directory authentication for a storage servers?

    I have two running Windows Storage Server 2003 storage servers in a domain R2 Windows Server 2008 Standard.  On top of the Active Directory authentication, I want to add authentication of MAC address for the access to one of the storage servers.  In this scenario, an authenticated user is unable to log on to the target storage server unless the user is also on one of the computers MAC address accepted.  All domain users will have access to other folders and files as configuration storage server in Active Directory.  I already have a user access to installation by the permissions for folders on the storage server target, but I still want to restrict access to specific computers as well.  For what it's worth the server hardware is HP Proliant DL360 G5 for the Standard Server 2008 R2 and server HP Proliant DL185 G5 for two Storage Server 2003 computers.  I don't want to have MAC address authentication as the main means of access control to the network, only for the storage server a as an addition to control Active Directory.

  • OAM and MS integration Active Directory on non-Windows Server environment

    I begin by saying that I'm dealing with a heterogeneous environment here where several systems are managed by different management levels. Our Oracle systems chose to go all * nix (Solaris Oracle and Red Hat Linux) and so we do not have a single Windows Server in our Oracle services and would really like to keep it this way that we prefer to keep a uniform platform in all of our Oracle servers.  However, the side our Department Office has chosen to use Microsoft Active Directory, and now we want to integrate and perform authentication against it for our protected sites OAM.  We are in the initial phase of installation, but we didn't want to implement a critical server like OAM on the Windows platform and focus rather OAM running on a Red Hat Linux server to Active Directory.  We will also use OID as run us portal but do not want to use it as our authority for Oracle products authentication (local policy is that Active Directory is the authority of the credential is valid on the site as we head towards the true Single Sign On our desktop and web applications).  I have a few questions.

    1. it is possible using native or to run the version of Windows of OAM?
    2. If you must run OAM on Windows to use AD for authentication, is it possible to install the Windows of OAM version as kind of an interface for our main server of OAM running under Red Hat Linux to make the AD Auth?
    3. can it be done using some kind of interface such as Oracle Virtual Directory in interface with the interface LDAP to Active Directory MS?

    Hi David,

    Answers online

    1. it is possible using native or to run the version of Windows of OAM?
    You can run all servers in OAM on * nix and just point to AD as a source of data on the machine: port AD running on OAM. There is no need for the components of the OAM on Windows.

    2. If you must run OAM on Windows to use AD for authentication, is it possible to install the Windows of OAM version as kind of an interface for our main server of OAM running under Red Hat Linux to make the AD Auth
    As above, this is not necessary.

    3. can it be done using some kind of interface such as Oracle Virtual Directory in interface with the interface LDAP to Active Directory MS?
    Yes, it is quite possible. Even if it is not necessary in your situation, it provides more flexibility front the user store with OVD, for example when the addition/change of name of Windows domains, or by specifying some branches for users and so on.

    Kind regards

  • The upgrade to vCenter Server 5.5 U1 beat vCO AD Plugin

    We do not use LDAPS, LDAP standard, so I don't see why we would receive an exception of encryption, and the 'ConfigurationManager' null configuration object is interesting.

    Is it possible to reset the configuration of the plugin, re-establish a connection, and try again? I prefer not to reinstall this vCO, as we have done a lot of configuration.

    Uninstalling and reinstalling the 1.0.4 plugin does not seem to solve the problem. I should come back 1.0.3 or can it?

    Thanks for all your help.

    and re - configure the plugin (1.0.3 in this case) AD, seems to have allowed the AD connection is restored. At that time, we were see errors in the vCO related to plugin configuration of the client (it seems that all the old cruft of 1.0.4 has not been completely cleaned), so I upgraded the plugin from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4.

    I can now browse through the structure of the AD in vCO as expected. A terrifying upgrade, plugin-breaking!
