VMware ESX/ESXi Account Discovery
During configuration, Secret Server is given a list of IP addresses or computer names that correspond to ESX or ESXi servers. Secret Server then connects to each server using the provided credentials to query for a list of user accounts on the target system.
The scanning account requires the Host.Local.ManageUserGroups privilege on each ESXi host. See Account Permissions for Discovery for details and VMware ESX/ESXi Account Discovery and RPC Configuration for setup instructions.
