Hello,
I've problems with securing my vSphere Hypervisor host machine. First I tried to change default ssh port but couldn't find a way to do it by vSphere Client. Then I did the change from /etc/ssh/sshd_config file but it didn't work too. At last, I made it by editing the ports in /etc/service file but then I couldn't find a way to allow the new port to inbound connections in firewall settings. Now I can't access to SSH because it's all blocked except vSphere service ports and there is no way to open a new port or service.
vSphere Client has only on/off/ip settings in Security Profile in Configurations tab, but I couldn't make that functions work too. I don't want everybody to see my Web Access screen when they type my ip address to their browser but I couldn't close that too. I uncheck the vSphere Web Access from Firewall Properties but I can still see the web access screen from a remote computer.
It looks like I can't install any third party software to the vSphere too.
Is there a chance that I can configure my own settings, changing default ports on firewall and get some protection against brute force attacks? Am I looking for too much? I got dosens of brute force attacks to ssh port in the last three days and I dont' know how many I got to vSphere Client port.
Thanks
Engin
