How to reset Single Sign-On (SSO) password in vSphere — via ESX Virtualization

How to reset Single Sign-On (SSO) password in…

As you might notice, VMware vSphere has now Platform service controller (PSC) with a Single Sign-On (SSO) as a component. It is PSC which allows authentication via vCenter Single Sign-On (SSO). It is not only an authentication broker but also a security token exchange providing a more secure way of accessing your vSphere solutions, so in my honest opinion, it is a key component. In this post, we will learn How to reset Single Sign-On (SSO) password in vSphere.

vSphere and TLS 1.2

I traditionally don’t write much about compliance. I’ve been very focused on security. But some might ask “Aren’t they the same thing?” My answer is unequivocally “No” but remember, this is my opinion and in the world of security, we are all entitled to our opinion, right?

vSphere 6.0 Update 3 – Important Update for vSAN

ESXi 6.0 Update 3 is now available. This update is significant for vSAN customers as there are a number of performance related issues addressed. The KB article detailing vSAN performance improvements can be found here, and the ESXi 6.0 U3 release notes can be found here. I wouldn’t necessarily write a blog post to highlight a KB or update release, but I think the improvements that have been made to vSAN performance in this update are very significant.

Create any Windows VM using a non-vSphere 6.5 release, install the OS and then power it on. You should now see a floppy device (A:) show up under “My Computer” as seen in the screenshot below.
