After describing my experience with changing the IP address for Aria Automation in a [previous blog], in this blog I will share my experience with changing the IP address of my VIDM appliance. In...

Install VMware Identity Manager (VIDM) Patch CSP-97727

You probably guessed it… this post is about installing VMware Identity Manager (VIDM) Patch CSP-97727. Although the official guidance in Broadcom Article [380348] is good, I’d like to share my experience and add some additional information. Note that if you started all the way back with VIDM version 3.3.5 and went through all the upgrades you may run into an...

Create a user in the VIDM System Directory

While running into some issues with Aria Automation I needed to create a new testuser. Since it was not possible at that time to create an Active Directory account, I decided to create a local account in the VIDM System Directory. Sidenote: depending on where you are in the UI or documentation the product may be called VIDM, VMware Identity...

vIDM/Access Connector <> DC2022 [Updated2]

Heads-up to everyone in the process of upgrading their Active Directory Domain Services to 2022! As mentioned in the online documentation, VMware does NOT support AD on Windows Server 2022. The main reason for this is the fact Microsoft changed their LDAP-search member attribute specification, resulting in the Connector failing to retrieve more than 1499 results (this is the MaxValRange...

vRSLCM SSO with CNAME

With vRSLCM we are able to integrate with vIDM for SSO purposes. This works flawlessly as long as we use the actual hostname fqdn’s, but as soon as customers use a CNAME to access the same vRSLCM instance with SSO enabled, we encounter SSO logon redirect issues. With this blog-post I will try to explain how to workaround this issue...

VIDM 3.3.5 to 3.3.6 Upgrade Error – Fix the missing OVF Properties with PowerCLi.

Update 05/feb/2023; I ran into this issue again while upgrading to 3.3.7 and created an updated Powershell script on my [Github] page. After the release of vRealize Automation 8.6.2 and deploying this in greenfield, I also wanted to upgrade my “production” environment. Before you can upgrade to vRA 8.6.2, you have to upgrade vRSLCM to version 8.6.2 and VIDM to...

How to resize VIDM or Workspace ONE Access Disks

As a follow up to a [previous article] where I described how to resize the disk for VIDM, my co-blogger came up with another (better) solution that does not require the installation of gparted. Note that resizing sda has a different procedure than resizing sdb/sdc (traditional partition vs [LVM]). This blogpost is based on Photon based Workspace ONE Access 2108....

Automated deployment of vRealize Automation 8.x via PowerShell – Part 2

If all went well during Part 1, you should now have a fresh vRSLCM installation. In this part I will use another script to take care of configuring vRSLCM, deploying VIDM and deploying vRA, both as single node. Just like the previous script, some parts of the script may be further optimized and need additional error handling. Also, I did...

Automated deployment of vRealize Automation 8.x via Powershell – Part 1

For my work, I regularly need to deploy a fresh vRA Environment, either to test with a specific (older) version or new beta release. Although the Deployment of vRA is relatively easy, it always takes me more time than I like, so I decided to throw in some extra time and automate the deployment of vRSLCM, VIDM and VRA. There...
