Objective 1.3 – Configure and Enable SSO and Identity Sources

The SSO, introduced in vSphere 5.1, is the authentication broker of a vSphere environment.

Using a secure token mechanism, different vSphere components can communicate with each other. Both the internal components and the vSphere users are authenticated with SSO, with its different identify sources (different authentication domains, as described in Objective 1.1).

Objective 1.3 for VCP65-DCV and VCP6-DCV is similar, because there weren't major changes in SSO authentication from vSphere 6.0 to vSphere 6.5.

For more information about authentication, see the PSC 6.5 Administration Guide (https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.psc.doc/GUID-B98DF9C2-FE7D-483F-9521-C17C138B59D8.html).
