Integrating vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 and its ESXi hosts in Active Directory

In this post we will be able to see how to configure authentication against our Active Directory in the VMware vSphere virtual platform. We'll enable it on the vCenter Server Appliance and ESXi hosts, so that you can assign access permissions to Active Directory users or groups. And so instead of using the default credentials (As we do wrongly); each employee will use their DA account, with the privileges that he should have, It will also be useful to see 'Who does what'.

Installing and configuring WiKID to access the Citrix Web Interface with a token (Software!)

Complete document this, we will see the installation and configuration of WiKID for two-factor authentication with a software token instead of traditional hardware ones (SoftToken) against a Web Interface 5.3 from Citrix. To do this,, first we will install and configure WiKID that through an LDAP connection will connect to our Active Directory and authenticate the tokens in the Web Interface with RADIUS, assign/configure the token against a user in our domain and open a Citrix session. WiKID is a paid product but has a very low price, Logically, we can use this document to configure other services by tokenizing.
