Chapter 3. Setting Access and Permissions

The Single Sign On (SSO) is a feature of vSphere 5.1 that is an authentication broker and a security token exchange that provides a secure way to access your vSphere environment. The SSO password is essential to the vCenter install. This chapter will show you how to reset or unlock that important password. This chapter also shows how to unlock or reset the password for SSO. It will cover the permission difference between vRealize Suite and vCenter, and explains the permissions between vSphere and vCOps. This chapter will cover the relationship between AD and vCenter and the connection between them.

The list of topics that will be covered in this chapter are:

  • SSO administrator password unlock or reset

  • AD authentication and importing into vCenter SSO 5.5

  • Working with permissions for vCenter and VCOps
