Preparation

The connector uses VMWare vSphere shipped API DLL in order to retrieve information from the ESXi server.

To obtain the DLL, go to https://code.vmware.com/web/sdk/6.7/vsphere-management . The required download from the page is: vSphere Management SDK - version 6.7U1. From the SDK zip the required DLL will be: SDK/vsphere-ws/dotnet/cs/samples/lib/Vim25Service.dll. Copy and place the DLL inside the agent folder alongside the connector agtesxi .

Create an administrative user, such as psadmin, to allow Bravura Security Fabric to communicate with the ESXi server.

The target systems’ administrative credentials are the login credentials for the ESXi server API. Appropriate privileges are required for the login; for example, the connector will only list the resources that the supplied credentials can view.
