If it is not clear by now, I REALLY love the power of vSphere Events and all the use cases it can enable, especially when used with our VMware Event Broker Appliance (VEBA) solution to enable easy Event-Driven Automation.
Over the past month or so, I have noticed a series of questions from our field and customers across a number of topics pertaining to vSphere accounts including vSphere Single Sign-On (SSO) users. My response to each of these questions all point back to a leveraging specific vSphere Events and I thought I share some of use cases in which vSphere Events can help
- When was the last time a vSphere SSO user (e.g. *protected email*) password was changed?
- How much time left (expiry) before the vSphere SSO user password must be changed?
- Audit of all password changes for an vSphere SSO user (e.g. *protected email*)?
- Who recently updated the password for a vSphere SSO user (e.g. *protected email*)?
- When was the last time a vSphere SSO user (e.g. *protected email*) password was reseted?
- Who recently added new permission to a vSphere user?
- Who recently removed a permission from a vSphere user?
- Who recently updated vSphere Role with additional permissions?
- Who recently updated vSphere Role and removed permissions?
