One fine day, someone came to me and asked, " I can't add domain users to vCenter. Can you help?" So, when I checked, I found this :
So yes, no domain listed there. So when I asked in detail, it seems this was a new deployment, vCenter just being created. Which really helped me to narrow down to root cause.
Issues :
Unable to Grant Permission to Domain ID - No Domain Listed
Troubleshooting
- Login to vCenter using default admin ID ( [email protected] ). These steps shall be done from Web Console rather than vSphere Client.
- Click at Administration
- Click at Single Sign-On > Configuration. So as we can see here, only vSphere.local and vCenterServer (Default) are configured in Identity Sources. It means, these are the only domains which can be authenticated to.
Resolution :
- Click at Add Identity Source.
- Depending on the environment, appropriately choose identity source type. For this example, it is Active Directory (Integrated Windows Authentication).Key in the Domain Name and all required info.
- Once done, you will see the new source listed here.
- Newly added domain will be listed here.
