For systems that do not use Active Directory and have no local user accounts, other than root and/or vpxuser, this check is not applicable.
NOTE: vSphere Authentication Proxy is available via the vSphere vCenter Server ISO. Although mainly used with Auto Deploy, which is available only with the vSphere Enterprise Plus Edition, vSphere Authentication Proxy does not require a specific vSphere Edition (i.e., Standard vs Enterprise) to be installed.
From the vSphere client, select "Host Profiles". Right click the Host Profile and select Edit. Choose "Authentication configuration >> Active Directory Configuration >> Join Domain Method". Verify the Join Domain Method is set to "Use vSphere Authentication Proxy to add the host to domain".
If the vSphere Authentication Proxy is installed and the Join Domain Method is not set to "Use vSphere Authentication Proxy to add the host to domain", this is a finding. |
