SPP supports VMware ESXi hosts.

IMPORTANT: SPP can only manage local users on a VMware host.

To prepare a VMware ESXi host for SPP

  1. Use an existing account or create a new account as the service account on the asset and assign it a password.

    The default administrator account is suitable.

  2. Grant the service account the privileges required to set user passwords using the web management API.
  3. When adding a VMware ESXi host to SPP:
    1. Specify the network address.
    2. Specify port 443 as the HTTPS port.
