Script to help verify - vSphere 4.0 Security Hardening Guide

I just finished an initial version of a vSphere SDK for Perl script that assists with validating some of the checks in VMware's vSphere 4.0 Security Hardening Guide (draft).

There's still some more that needs to be done and won't be complete until the final revision is out. There may also be other opportunities else where to check for certain things in the APIs that I may have missed. For anyone interested to try, please provide any feedback and/comments.

Thanks

On line 761 the script needs to be changed to look for "isolation.tools.setGUIOptions.enable","false" instead of true.

Great script!

Hi,

Thanks for pointing out this bug.

I've updated the script and the fix has been checked-in: http://vghetto.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vghetto/scripts/vmwarevSphereSecurityHardeningReportCheck....
