  • 1.  CIMuser without root

    Posted Sep 26, 2024 12:05 PM

    Hi together,

    Try to add a local ESX user to replace the root user for CIM queries with a powercli script.

    Added a local user, with the CIM interaction role successfully.

    New-VMHostAccount -Id cim_mon -Password $NewPassword  -Description "monitoring account"
    New-VIPermission -Entity (Get-Folder root) -Principal $newUser -Role $role

    Can login via GUI. But, get authentication error when accessing using port5989. Port is accessible.

    Can't find why it doesn't work. 

    Someone got it working?

    Thanks in advance
