Adding a VMware vCenter Website to Browser Extension

Overview​

This article describes how to add a VMware vCenter web application (website) to the Netwrix Privilege Secure for Access Management Browser Extension for quick and easy session provisioning.

Instructions​

  1. Create a VMware vCenter website Activity. Enter the URL normally used to log in to vCenter and any Active Directory (AD) group that gives the account permission to log in.

    NOTE: This example is for an Activity Token. Managed Account and Requester workflows are also supported.

  2. Create a Website Resource. Enter the URL for vCenter and, if possible, choose a resource that is in the same AD domain as the vSphere host. This ensures that when an account is created and group permissions are granted to it, this happens on a Domain Controller (DC) close to where vSphere would normally authenticate to. This prevents needing to wait for permissions to replicate when logging in to vSphere.

  3. Create an Access Policy that links a user to the vSphere Activity and the Website Resource. There should now be a vSphere activity in the Privilege Secure Browser Extension, with the ability to select it to create a session (click once) and then launch vSphere (click again).
