How to get vCenter Single Sign-On users last login report

Hello Community,

There're a lot of local single sign-on user accounts exist in our vCenter server and most of them are not active. I want to generate a report of usernames and their last login date/time on the vCenter server. Based on that report, I will contact the respective users and remove their accounts if they're no more needed.

Is there any command or script available using which I can get the last login time of each local sso user?

vCenter version: 6.5

Thank you so much.

Thank you!

Hello Community,

I have got one option to get local sso users and their last login time on vCenter web client under following logs: 

/var/log/vmware/sso/websso.log

And

/var/log/vmware/sso/websso-x.log (replace "x" with 1, 2, 3 and so on)

Simply check for particular user details in these logs file:

# cat /var/log/vmware/sso/websso.log | grep username

In the output, just go to the last entry in latest log file. Last entry will start with user's login timestamp.

Thank you!

Regardless of checking log file directly via VCSA shell access, you can do it via PowerCLI too. For example check the following link:
