Summary
The documentation page consistently references Windows Server Active Directory as the primary or sole identity source for assigning the CloudAdmin role in vCenter Server. There are no examples or mentions of Linux-based identity sources (such as OpenLDAP), nor is there guidance for integrating with non-Windows environments. Windows terminology and tools are introduced before any alternatives, and Linux parity is not addressed.
Recommendations
- Add examples and instructions for integrating Linux-based identity sources (e.g., OpenLDAP) with vCenter Server.
- Mention and document how non-Windows environments can assign roles and manage access, including any limitations or requirements.
- Provide parity in documentation by listing both Windows and Linux options for identity management, ideally with step-by-step guidance for each.
- Clarify whether the CloudAdmin role can be assigned to users/groups from non-Windows directories and, if so, how to configure this.
