Create a configuration to connect VMware Aria Operations for Logs to an NSX Manager instance. Within the NSX Manager scope, you can use NSX Identity Firewall(IDFW) to create identity based firewall rules.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are logged in to the VMware Aria Operations for Logs web user interface. The URL format of the web user interface is https:// operations_for_logs, where operations_for_logs-host is the IP address or host name of the VMware Aria Operations for Logs virtual appliance.

Procedure

  1. Expand the main menu and navigate to Integration > NSX Identity Firewall.
  2. Enter the IP address or host name and admin credentials for the NSX Manager instance, and click Test.
    Note: You must have the Enterprise Administrator role in the NSX Manager instance to perform this step.
  3. If the NSX Manager instance provides an untrusted SSL certificate, a dialog box appears with the details of the certificate. Click Accept to add the certificate to the truststores of all the nodes in the VMware Aria Operations for Logs cluster.
    If you click Cancel, the certificate is not added to the truststores and the connection with the NSX Manager instance fails. You must accept the certificate for a successful connection.
  4. Click Save.
    If you did not test the connection and the NSX Manager instance provides an untrusted certificate, follow the instructions in step 4.

What to do next

After configuring the integration, add predefined or custom identity providers to the configuration. For more information, see Add an Identity Provider to an NSX Identity Firewall Integration.
