2.4 User Authentication

As stated earlier, 3PAR Management Plug-In and Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere is deployed as a VI Client plug-in. You must first log into the vCenter Server before accessing 3PAR Management Plug-In and Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere’s features. 3PAR Management Plug-In and Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere does not ask for a user name or password. Instead, it uses a logged-in user's credentials to access VMware inventory. This credential sharing is the VMware recommended way for transparent plug-in authentication.

2.4.1VMware vCenter Server Login for 3PAR Virtual Volume and Virtual Copy Management

3PAR Management Plug-In and Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere creates a new vCenter Server role named 3PAR Recovery Manager Administrator upon plug-in registration. The following restrictions apply for the 3PAR Recovery Manager Administrator role:

All non-administrator users must be in this role.

If an administrator logs in as Administrator or DOMAIN\Administrator, the permission check is skipped.
