Hi All,
Is it possible to create a domain user for vCenter via python or java sdk?
If there are any script I could use to create a domain user Please also let me know.
Any help is appreciate.
I have a Platform Services Controller and two vCenter applicances (6.5) in link mode.
I want to create a new user for each vCenter and grant the new user with some permissions.
I could create a role for each vCenter via Python SDK but I could not create a vCenter user.
Below is my Python code example:
serviceInst = SmartConnect(host=vcIP,
port=self.__vcPort,
user=self._username, #administrator@vsphere.local
pwd=self._password,
sslContext=context)
content = serviceInst.RetrieveContent()
authMgr = content.authorizationManager
roleId=authMgr.AddAuthorizationRole(name,privIds)#works well here
userSpec = vim.HostAccountSpec()
- userSpec.id = name
- userSpec.password = password
- userSpec.description =’test account'
accountMgr = content.accountManager #it is None
- accountMgr.CreateUser(userSpec)
#I also tried to create this localAccoutManager,it could not work too.
accountMgr=vim.host.LocalAccountManager("LocalAccountManager",content.rootFolder._stub,content.about.instanceUuid)
ManagedObjectNotFound: (vmodl.fault.ManagedObjectNotFound) {
dynamicType = <unset>,
dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [],
msg = "The object 'vim.host.LocalAccountManager:LocalAccountManager' has already been deleted or has
not been completely created",
faultCause = <unset>,
faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [],
obj = 'vim.host.LocalAccountManager:LocalAccountManager'
}
In Java SDK, the getAccountManager() also return null
rootRef = serviceContent.getRootFolder();//it works.
ManagedObjectReference accountMgr=serviceContent.getAccountManager();
HostAccountSpec spec = new HostAccountSpec();
spec.setId("fromJava");
spec.setPassword("password");
spec.setDescription("This is created from JDK");
try {
vimPort.createUser(accountMgr, spec);
} catch (AlreadyExistsFaultMsg e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
