Host must enable lockdown mode

ÉlevéeNiveau 1Automatiséevmware

Description

Implementing lockdown mode restricts direct access to ESXi hosts, mandating management via vCenter Server to uphold defined roles and access controls, mitigating risks associated with unauthorized or insufficiently audited activities. Exception Users list serves as an override mechanism, permitting specified users direct access even in lockdown mode. The audit runs vim-cmd -U dcui vimsvc/auth/lockdown_mode and requires lockdownNormal or lockdownStrict. Running the shell during lockdown requires the scanning account on the Exception Users list. Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.
