Exclude special users from Smart Card Authentication

Hello all,

we would like to activate the Multifactor Authentication for the Login into our three vCenters to reduce the risk of catching user credentials by a hacker. The current plan is, to use our YubiKey SmartCard USB-Token to authenticate the according users/administrators.

While reading the documentation of Vmware, some topics are not that clear:
- Can we use our internal PKI (Active Directory) for the User certificates?
- Can we exclude some special accounts which are used for automatic tasks? These accounts are also Active-Directory accounts but running jobs in the background and are not able to make MFA (because the softwares / Scripts does not support MFA).

 

Thanks in advance

Does no one have any ideas? Think the issue should still affect several users, right?
