Is it possible to add other users to access the VCSA interface ONLY https://ipaddress:5480 without AD or SSO configuration?

I can see a number of tutorials on adding users via shell access but yet I can not get in to the VCSA web GUI after. I also found this -

http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2013/09/virtual-appliances-getting-more-secure-with-vsphere-5-5-part-3.html

However same issue, I can create a user with SSH access but I can't get to the web interface.

  • Why do you want this? In normal usage, NOBODY should need to access the VCSA configuration page other than the *root* user. Can you provide more context on what you're doing? – ewwhite Sep 16 '14 at 18:16
  • Company wants a way to separate users as this interfaces houses the update and upgrade and reboot features etc... This is for logging purposes. –  Sep 16 '14 at 19:18

That doesn't make sense. Restrict access to the VCSA management interface or establish a policy around the use of its password. The vCenter Server Appliance was not meant to be used in a multiuser fashion. If you need more granular permissions, open a support ticket with VMware. They will likely say the same think about its usage, though...
