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.

2.4.1 VMware 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.
