Hello vMA specialists
Today I installed vMA 5.1.
What i did:
- vMA joined in AD
- vCenter Server added as target with Authpolicy adauth
- added an ESX 4.1 and two ESXi 5.0 hosts to vMA. All ESX Hosts are joined in the same AD.
My goal is:
- Login to vMA with my personal AD login (not vi-admin) and run all vMA commands in this context.
Problem:
- Although vMA is joined to AD I can't login (ssh) with my persoanl AD account which is member of AD Group "ESX Admins"
- as William posted on his Blog he logs into vMA using a valid AD account. How can I do this?
- because I'm only able to login with ssh to vMA using vi-admin I always have to enter root password for each ESX hosts
vi-admin@vma51:~> sudo domainjoin-cli query
Name = vma51
Domain = AD.SOMETHING.COM
Distinguished Name = CN=vma51,OU=VMWareESX,OU=Servers,OU=Company,DC=AD,DC=SOMETHING,DC=com
vi-admin@vma51:~> vifp listservers -l
vcenter.ad.something.com vCenter adauth
esx1.company.com ESXi adauth
esx2.company.com ESXi fpauth
esx3.company.com ESX adauth
ESX Host with Active Directory Authentication (adauth)
vi-admin@vma51:~> vifptarget -s esx1
vi-admin@vma51:~[esx1.company.com]> esxcli
Enter username: root
Enter password:
Usage: esxcli [options] {namespace}+ {cmd} [cmd options]
ESX Host mit fastpass Authentication (fpauth)
vi-admin@vma51:~> vifptarget -s esx2
vi-admin@vma51:~[esx2.company.com]> esxcli
Usage: esxcli [options] {namespace}+ {cmd} [cmd options]
What did I miss?
Thank you very much for your help.
