The vCenter Server must use a limited privilege account when adding a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) identity source.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>When adding an LDAP identity source to vSphere Single Sign-On (SSO), the account used to bind to Active Directory must be minimally privileged. This account only requires read rights to the base domain name specified. Any other permissions inside or outside of that organizational unit are unnecessary and violate least privilege.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
