Hosts provisioned with Auto Deploy send log files to the specified ports. Although the VMware vCenter Server
Appliance acts as a syslog server, it does not appear as a syslog server in the vSphere Client.
What to do next
You must restart ESXi services for these changes to take effect.
Configure Authentication Settings on the VMware vCenter Server Appliance
You can configure authentication settings, such as enabling an NIS or Active Directory server, on the VMware
vCenter Server Appliance.
Prerequisites
Install the VMware vCenter Server Appliance and configure the database. See “Configure Database Settings
for the VMware vCenter Server Appliance,” on page 44 and the vSphere Installation and Setup documentation.
Procedure
1 Log in to the VMware vCenter Server Appliance Web console and navigate to the Authentication tab.
2 (Optional) Click NIS and select NIS Enabled to enable an NIS server for the VMware vCenter Server
Appliance.
3 (Optional) Type the NIS domain and NIS server and click Save Settings.
4 (Optional) ClickActive Directory and select Active Directory Enabled to enable an Active Directory server
for the VMware vCenter Server Appliance.
5 (Optional) Type the domain, administrator user name, and administrator password for the Active
Directory server and click Save Settings.
6 Restart vCenter Server.
Configuring Communication Among ESXi , vCenter Server, and the
vSphere Client
By default, the vSphere Client uses ports 80 and 443 to communicate with vCenter Server and ESXi hosts. You
can change these ports if necessary.
Configure your firewall to allow communication between the vSphere Client and vCenter Server by opening
ports 80 and 443.
vCenter Server acts as a web service. If your environment requires the use of a web proxy, vCenter Server can
be proxied like any other web service.
