[1] The patches listed in the "Fixed Version" column of the table below address the Apache log4j security issue identified by CVE-2021-44228 (this is documented in [2] vRealize Automation 8.x is unaffected since it does not use embedded vIDM. If vIDM has been deployed with vRA 8.x, fixes should be applied directly to vIDM. [3] vRealize Automation 7.6 is affected since it uses embedded vIDM.

VMware Identity Manager (vIDM) is free with Log Insight, but it is a separate virtual appliance (VA) that needs to be deployed (unless you have vRealize Automation which comes with vIDM integrated and Log Insight could then integrate with the vIDM in vRealize Automation.) As Log Insight customers, you are entitled to use vIDM for Single Sign-On and authentication. vIDM is available to all versions of Log Insight, including Log Insight for vCenter and Log Insight for NSX. VMware Identity Manager (vIDM) is available for limited use with vRealize Log Insight. For complete vIDM functionality, please purchase Workspace ONE licenses. The limited use of vIDM for Log Insight includes the following features: • Directory Integration to authenticate users against customer’s user directory such as Active Directory or LDAP. • Access policy including conditional access. • Single Sign-On (SSO) integration with 3 rdparty Identity Providers such as ADFS, Ping Federate, and others to allow users logged in to these systems to SSO into Log Insight. • 2-factor authentication through integration with 3 rdparty systems such as RSA SecurID, Entrust, and others. • Note: Built-in 2-factor authentication using VMware Verify is not included. To use VMware Verify, please acquire Workspace ONE license. • SSO to other VMware products where those products support the SSO capability. vIDM is a service that extends on-premises directory infrastructure to provide a seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) experience f...

You may notice a loss of Workspace ONE Access Open Virtualization Format (OVF) properties during vCenter Virtual Machine (VM) export and import. Version Identified Workspace ONE Access 20.01 VMware Identity Manager 19.03 VMware Identity Manager 3.3.2 VMware Identity Manager 3.3.1 VMware Identity Manager 3.3 There are several possible recommended backup and restore options: 1. Non-memory snapshot with quiesce - fastest backup and restore, less safe as storage is not copied elsewhere. and too many snapshots could slow the VM down. 2. Clone or Copy - not as fast but safer, but still not full offsite backup. 3. Snapshot aware backup software. Best option but requires extra purchases. 4. OVF export/import - requires fast network and disk space but functional. Note: There is a known intermittent issue where OVF export/import loses the advanced VMware Identity Manager (vIDM) OVF networking and license properties. There is an addendum at the end on how to recreate the properties manually in this case. This document covers option #4 OVF Export/Import. OVF Export/Import You must power down any VMs and it is recommended that you remove all snapshots before performing this backup procedure. If using an external Database, please use the database export functionality offered by the external DB (Microsoft SQL, Postgres). For each VM in the cluster perform the following: Backup 1. Log in to the vSphere Web Client. 2. Select a VM in the object navigator. 3. Right click and select Template>...

Whether your vRA 8 install is greenfield or a migration from vRA 7.x, the minimum install of vRA 8 is a single appliance. A separate Windows VM is no longer required. vRA 8 includes Minimum vRA 8 installation Two additional vRA 8 nodes can be added to form a high availability and scale out cluster. An external load balancer, vRealize Automation cluster and load balancer options The vRA appliance runs on Photon OS, with a broadly leveraged microservices architecture using Kubernetes and Docker. vRA is comprised of numerous services, running in separate containers, with a PostgreSQL database per container, RabbitMQ serves as the message broker. If you’re running in a cluster, each node is a Kubernetes master and we use PostgreSQL Streaming Replication between the cluster nodes for data availability. vRealize Automation 8 architecture vRA 8 offers an easy installer, which is presented on an ISO, and includes LCM, vIDM, and vRA OVAs. Using the easy installer and in product Quickstart configuration wizard, the typical single node install and configure time is around an hour. The easy installer provides options to install new vRA, LCM, and vIDM appliances or migrate your existing LCM and vIDM appliance configurations to new appliances. The install wizard is similar to other VMware virtual appliances install processes. Once you’ve decided how to proceed with new or existing LCM and vIDM installs, add your vCenter credentials, networking, storage, a Suite or vRA license key, appli...

I am a Cloud DevOps Engineer having worked with VMware, Microsoft and Linux systems in CSP/MSP environments since 2012. I started automating repetitive tasks with PowerShell and Bash in 2012. Since 2017 I have been developing Cloud Automation and Self-Service utilising VMware vRealize Orchestrator (vRO) and vRealize Automation (vRA). Since 2019 I have been working with both AWS & Azure Public Cloud, optimising and automating solutions in multi-tenant environments. I created this blog to document issues I have experienced and share Cloud automation solutions. I am a vExpert. The vExpert program is VMware’s global evangelism and advocacy program, recognising the people who have made some of the most important contributions to the VMware community. I am also recognised as a vExpert in the vExpert Cloud Management & vExpert Cloud Provider sub-programs.

While this is true it does add it's own complexity. vIDM (VMware Identity Manager) is embedded in vRA 7 appliance, which when vRA is clustered automatically clusters vIDM. In vRA8 it is a separate appliance. There is no point clustering vRA8 appliances and leaving vIDM as a single appliance so this should also be clustered. To do so is where the ext...

VMware Identity Manager is the identity and access management component of Workspace ONE. Alongside Workspace ONE UEM and VMware Horizon, VMware Identity Manager can deploy a universal application catalog that includes web, native, and virtual applications. VMware Identity Manager is also crucial to deploying mobile single sign-on (SSO) and conditional access which includes device management and compliance checks. VMware Identity Manager is available both in shared SaaS and on premises deployment models. This guide describes how to deploy VMware Identity Manager for Windows in an on premises environment, including high availability and load balancer configurations. Recommended deployment patterns and how to size your database, connector, and VMware Identity Manager servers based on the size of your organization are described in the Preparing to Install VMware Identity Manager chapter. The VMware Identity Manager for Windows Deployment Model figure shows the high-level deployment pattern for Workspace ONE. The Workspace ONE UEM device service and VMware Identity Manager service are deployed in the DMZ where devices can access the services directly. The VMware Horizon service is deployed in the internal network. Figure 1. VMware Identity Manager for Windows Deployment Model The VMware Identity Manager Architecture Diagram for Typical Deployments figure shows a detailed diagram with the load balancer configuration required for clustered VMware Identity Manager. Figure 2. VMWa...
