A man browsed down the Login Page He says, "Why am I short of attention? Got a short little span of attention And, whoa, my logins are so long Where's my Credentials and TOTP? What if I die here? Who'll be my role model Now that my role model is gone, gone?" He ducked back down the alley With some roly-poly little login tool All along, along There were Username and passwords There were hints and allegations [Chorus] If you'll be my IDP I can be your long lost SP I can call yo

As I mentioned in my previous blog VMware Verify goes EoS and EoA on on October 31st, 2022. VMware developed (sort of) 2 alternatives: Intelligent HUB verify and the Authenticator App. Yeah Great news!: The Authenticator App is GA (Globally Available) since 10-06-2022 What is the Authenticator App? Authenticator App (any app supporting TOTP RFC 6238 standard)*: By adding support for authenticator apps that use time-based one-time passcodes (TOTP) such as Microsoft Authenticat

Awesome: VMware Verify (Intelligent HUB) is available within the Default Access Policy on al device platforms! Little back story: As stated in the following article: Workspace ONE Access: VMware Verify End-of-Life Migration Paths (88424) VMware Verify will reach end-of-support (EoS) and end-of-availability date (EoA) on October 31st, 2022. This gave us some headaches.. what are the alternatives? VMware Verify worked very well and gave us the basic features we requested… like

Found this script i created when building the lab in my archives... perhaps it will help someone.

Well... its not a secret anymore that I like Grafana and the prebuild appliance Sexigraf. One of my favourite dashboards is VMware VM/ VMware All Cluster Top N VM stats. Altough this dashboard gives me a lot of usefull data it only shows me the hypervisor layer. As an EUC consultant one of the things I always wonder... how are these numbers relating to the number of session at that specific time window.. like CPU ready, memory etc etc.... What if... I can capture the session

Last week I was exposing my VMware Horizon environment externally. Of course I wanted the single sign on experience. So enrolled the Workspace One Access tennant, deployed the sync server.. configured directory sync, authentication rules, next Virtual Apps etc . On the connector SAML to required, configured SAML authenticator to Access, connector in Workspace One mode, deployed enrollment server, created TrueSSO template, configured TrueSSO, deployed UAGS etc etc and let the

One of the things i'm a big fan of is to load test and validate a VDI environment with fictional users before going live with real users. To get a complete picture I like to get 3 points of view. End user, within the VDI and the underlying Hypervisor. In the example given here, load tested VMware Horizon environment based on Instant Clones devided over 2 PODS both with one resource block. Each resource block consists of one vSAN Enabled cluster. Enduser Perspective One of th

Created a little powershell script to my best effort to check if your 2019 Server is vulnerable for CVE-2022-21907 CVSS base score of 9.8 so action is required More information about the CVE: CVE-2022-21907 - Security Update Guide - Microsoft - HTTP Protocol Stack Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Used some resources found online, put them together with some adjustments in the script (i am not a scripter, google is my friend ;-)) Keep in mind: no guarantee and advise is to

In my daily job insight in performance statistics of the VMware vSphere environment can make my job al lot easier. When going live with a newly build environment or especially when there is an issue with performance. Getting meassurements is key here so the discussion is about facts and not about assumptions. The effect of the changes you implement are shown (or not so you can continue the quest). Of course there are solutions out there like vRops but licenses can be an issue
