ESX Host Preparation for vShield
App, Endpoint, and Isolation
You can extend the capabilities of vShield by adding the following services: vShield App, vShield Endpoint,
and vShield Edge. You must prepare each ESX host in your environment for these services. The vShield
Manager OVA file contains the drivers and files necessary to install all additional services.
I All vShield REST requests require authorization. You can use the following basic authorization:
MPORTANT
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46ZGVmYXVsdA==
YWRtaW46ZGVmYXVsdA== represents the Base 64 encoding of the vShield Manager default login credentials
(admin:default).
