Configure vSphere Client Access for Users in an Active Directory Domain

Table of contents

For this Acc ===

In this post we will see how to add a VMware ESXI 5 server to an Active Directory domain to be able to access it through the vSphere Client using the username and password of our domain.

To do this, we access vSphere Client and go to: Configuration > DNS and Routing > Properties (Located at the top right)

Once we have accessed the properties, we see the following configuration panel, adding the domain name of our AD and making sure that the DNS is correctly configured.

Once our domain and DNS are configured, we go to the Routing tab and we check that the gateway is correctly configured.

We select our domain and search for Show groups First (In my case I am going to add a group)

Captura de pantalla de 2014-10-03 17:16:59

We add the group or user we want.

We assign All privileges

We disconnect and try to connect with the AD user (In this case, since I have added a domain, the user has to be added to that group in our AD)
