Показать описание
VMware Cloud Director (VCD) v10.4 introduces Service Accounts, as an alternative to user accounts, which allows standalone access for automation and third-party applications/tools (e.g. plugins) to VMware Cloud Director. This feature is built on top of API Token infrastructure which adopts OAuth standards. Service Accounts have access via API only and no UI access.

My feedback is that the restrictions around API Token (service account or not) don't make sense, especially for roles and rights. This can be done via the API anyway, but we have to input a username and password - albeit base64 encoded. I don't really see how the token is any different... I would be interested to know what the initial reasons were, i.e. some sort of security factor?
