If you deployed Identity and Access Management for VMware Cloud Foundation using a standalone Workspace ONE Access instance as an authentication provider in NSX, you must modify the configuration.
You must perform steps to transition the authentication source from using WorkSpace ONE Access to using the native Active Directory over LDAP integration in NSX.
To complete the validated authetication provider reconfiguration, follow the steps from the table below.
| Procedure | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Remove Active Directory Group Assignments for Workspace ONE Access in NSX Manager for Identity and Access Management for VMware Cloud Foundation | To replace the Workspace ONE Access authentication provider with Active Directory over LDAP in NSX Manager, you must remove the existing Active Directory Group assignments before adding them again using the Active Directory over LDAP authentication provider. |
| 2. Remove Standalone Workspace ONE Access Integration with NSX Manager for Identity and Access Management for VMware Cloud Foundation | To complete the removal of the Workspace ONE Access authentication provider, you remove the integration between NSX Manager and the Standalone Workspace ONE Access instance. |
| To use Active Directory as a native authentication provider in NSX Manager, you configure an Active Directory over LDAP authentication provider so that you can assign access to users and groups. | |
| 4. Assign NSX Manager Roles to Active Directory Groups for Identity and Access Management for VMware Cloud Foundation | To manage administrative access to NSX after you configure NSX Manager with Active Directory over LDAP as an authentication provider, you assign the NSX roles to Active Directory security groups. |
What to do next
After you complete the authentication provider transition to the native Active Directory over LDAP integration, continue your regular maintenence tasks by first verifying the integration.
