# VMware vCenter Integration
|
|
|
|
## What is vCenter
|
|
|
|
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCenter
|
|
|
|
!!! note ""
|
|
|
|
vCenter Server is the centralized management utility for VMware, and is used to manage virtual machines, multiple ESXi hosts, and all dependent components from a single centralized location. VMware vMotion and svMotion require the use of vCenter and ESXi hosts.

|
|
|
This requires VMware vCenter 7.0.0 or newer.
|
|
|
|
## Preparation
|
|
|
|
The following placeholders will be used:
|
|
|
|
- `vcenter.company` is the FQDN of the vCenter server.
|
|
- `passbook.company` is the FQDN of the passbook install.
|
|
|
|
Since vCenter only allows OpenID-Connect in combination with Active Directory, it is recommended to have passbook sync with the same Active Directory.
|
|
|
|
### Step 1
|
|
|
|
Under *Property Mappings*, create a *Scope Mapping*. Give it a name like "OIDC-Scope-VMware-vCenter". Set the scope name to `openid` and the expression to the following
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
return {
|
|
"domain": "<your active directory domain>",
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 2
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
If your Active Directory Schema is the same as your Email address schema, skip to Step 3.
|
|
|
|
Under *Sources*, click *Edit* and ensure that "Autogenerated Active Directory Mapping: userPrincipalName -> attributes.upn" has been added to your source.
|
|
|
|
### Step 3
|
|
|
|
Under *Providers*, create an OAuth2/OpenID Provider with these settings:
|
|
|
|
- Client Type: Confidential
|
|
- Response Type: code
|
|
- JWT Algorithm: RS256
|
|
- Redirect URI: `https://vcenter.company/ui/login/oauth2/authcode`
|
|
- Post Logout Redirect URIs: `https://vcenter.company/ui/login`
|
|
- Sub Mode: If your Email address Schema matches your UPN, select "Based on the User's Email...", otherwise select "Based on the User's UPN...".
|
|
- Scopes: Select the Scope Mapping you've created in Step 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 4
|
|
|
|
Create an application which uses this provider. Optionally apply access restrictions to the application.
|
|
|
|
## vCenter Setup
|
|
|
|
Login as local Administrator account (most likely ends with vsphere.local). Using the Menu in the Navigation bar, navigate to *Administration -> Single Sing-on -> Configuration*.
|
|
|
|
Click on *Change Identity Provider* in the top-right corner.
|
|
|
|
In the wizard, select "Microsoft ADFS" and click Next.
|
|
|
|
Fill in the Client Identifier and Shared Secret from the Provider in passbook. For the OpenID Address, click on *View Setup URLs* in passbook, and copy the OpenID Configuration URL.
|
|
|
|
On the next page, fill in your Active Directory Connection Details. These should be similar to what you have set in passbook.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your vCenter was already setup with LDAP beforehand, your Role assignments will continue to work.
