I recently wrote an article about vMA 4.1 and Active Directory Integration and today I noticed there were some confusion on the expected behavior of the two types of authentication policy: vi-fastpass authentication versus Active Directory authentication. There are actually a few things to consider:
- What user context are you trying to execute a command against a target?
- What authentication policy was used to add the target to vMA?
- Is vMA host joined to an Active Directory Domain?
| USER CONTEXT | FPAUTH or ADAUTH | vMA in AD DOMAIN |
|---|---|---|
| vi-admin | fpauth | no |
| DOMAIN\username | adauth | yes |
