To simplify the authentication process, the Single Sign On (SSO) service can be configured in vRealize Operations Manager<\/a> (vROPS) to access your infrastructure with a single account.<\/p>\n

This solution allows the administrators to use and manage a single account<\/strong> to access network systems.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Configure SSO in vRealize Operations Manager<\/h2>\n

Login vRealize Operations Manager<\/a> by entering the credentials and clicking Log In<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Configure the NTP service<\/h4>\n

To avoid authentication issues<\/strong>, all systems in your infrastructure must be time synced<\/strong>. Before configuring the SSO service, make sure the NTP service is configured in vROPS.<\/p>\n

Go to Administration<\/strong> tab and access the Management > Cluster Management<\/strong> section. From the Action<\/strong> drop-down menu select Network Time Protocol Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enter the NTP Server Address<\/strong> then click Add<\/strong>. Click OK<\/strong> to save the configuration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Configure the SSO service<\/h4>\n

Now go to Access > Authentication Sources<\/strong> section and click the plus (+) icon<\/strong> to add a source.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enter vCenter<\/em> as Source Display Name<\/strong> and select SSO SAML<\/strong> as Source Type<\/strong>. Enter the Host<\/strong> to use and the credentials then click Test<\/strong> to verify if the connection can be established. Although SSO SAML, Windows Active Directory or Open LDAP can be chosen, leave default SSO SAML<\/strong> for vROPS and configure the vCenter to use AD authentication<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thick the checkbox Accept this Certificate<\/strong> and click OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When the connection is successfull, click OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enter the Search Prefix<\/strong> for the account to use to access vRealize Operations Manager<\/a> (administrator for example) and click Search<\/strong>. Select the account and click OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From Select role<\/strong> drop-down menu select the role Administrator <\/strong>then enable Assign this role to the group<\/strong> option. Grant the access to all objects and click Finish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click Yes<\/strong> to confirm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The selected account is now enabled to access the system.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As soon as you try accessing vROPS through your browser, the log in step is skipped<\/strong> and the main dashboard is displayed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With SSO configuration enabled you don't need to log in to vROPS again<\/strong> as long as you are logged into the vSphere Client.<\/span><\/p>\n
