User Authentication
As stated earlier, HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and Recovery Manager Software for VMware
vSphere is deployed as a vSphere Client plug-in. You must first log into the vCenter Server before
accessing HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere’s
features. HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere
does not ask for a user name or password. Instead, it uses a user login credentials to access
VMware inventory. This credential sharing is the VMware recommended way for transparent plug-in
authentication.
