Access Control

Managing replication with Zerto requires access to the Zerto User Interface. The Zerto User Interface is accessible via one of the following ways:

•

A Zerto Virtual Manager standalone browser-based user interface via HTTPS and using the authorization and security mechanisms provided by VMware, including access to Microsoft Active Directory or any other LDAP server. In Hyper-V environments, the credentials are authenticated on the local machine. The Zerto Virtual Manager runs as a Windows service and access to it requires access to the Windows machine running this service. This access relies on the authentication, authorization, and security mechanisms provided by Microsoft.

•

The vSphere Web Client or Client console, using the authorization and security mechanisms provided by VMware, including access to Microsoft Active Directory or any other LDAP server.

•

The VBA runs as a Windows service on the same machine as the Zerto Virtual Manager. Access to the VBA requires access to the Windows machine running this service. This access relies on the authentication, authorization, and security mechanisms provided by Microsoft.

•

The Zerto Cloud Manager browser-based user interface via HTTPS and using the credentials to the machine where the Zerto Cloud Manager service runs. The Zerto Cloud Manager runs as a Windows service and access to it requires access to the Windows machine running this service. This access relies on the authentication, authorization, and security mechanisms provided by Microsoft.
