vROPS permissions issue

[dgwhite]

I have a permissions issue with some custom resources added with the REST API. These resources and metrics are added with a local vROPS account. I can use the metrics as this local user. I created some dashboards and shared them to my users via an AD group I have defined. At first, I gave this group the read-only role. When I log in as an AD user, I get an error when I try and open a dashboard where these metrics are displayed:

I have searched for "LDU information" but I don't see anything relevant. These issues persist even when the AD users have admin role assigned to them. Does anyone have any ideas or should I open a support case.

I am using vROPS version 6.0.2.2777062

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,

When using the REST API with an LDAP account, you'll need to qualify the user with the LDAP Import Source.

So instead of "user@domain", you would use "user@domain@importsource", where importsource is the name of the "Source Display Name" found in Administration->LDAP Import Sources

Hope this helps!

Thanks Gregory,

That was my issue. You cannot use pass-thru from your vCenter servers to access the REST data. If I login with my domain UPN, it works great.

Thanks again,

Dan
