Tenant username with dedicated vCenter

[chauhuuphat]

Hi Folks 

We already configured dedicated vCenter to Tenant, but when Tenant sign-in to Center need to use [e-mail] that create manually by Service Provider. 

So, how can we integrated username password of Tenant from Cloud Director to Dedicated Center? That mean, when customer click open vSphere will automatically sign-in to dedicated Center.

 

Thanks

Hello!

Did you also configured dedicated vCenter Server proxie? You can read this article for more information. https://louis641.com/2019/10/31/how-to-config-the-central-point-of-management-cpom-functionality-in-vcloud-director-10-x/

Hi

We already configured a dedicated vCenter and can push to the internet for customers.

But customers need account vsphere.local that means RBAC of Center, how can we set customer use same credential with Cloud Director when they login to dedicated vCenter?

You could try to go with another route. Login to Cloud Director with vCenter credentials. For this, you can configure identity providers (LDAP or use vSphere SSO as SAML provider). More on that in kb: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Director/9.7/com.vmware.vcloud.admin.doc/GUID-67F52905-87CC-4EF2-94E1-9512A681025A.html

Sorry, if this solution do not work for you. I think Cloud Director is higher in hierarchy, and simply does not speak to underlying vCenter SSO, to push new credentials. I couldn't find any information about your use case. I also think, that you should perceive dedicated vCenter Server as separate entity, as vCloud Director is only a CPoM for it, an a http proxy, just for a convenience case.
