vCenter 5.1 Appliance SSO - password - virtual-machine

After installing vCenter 5.1 appliance on a virtual machine (run by ESXi), it automatically set embedded SSO credentials. While the administrator user-name is always admin#System-Domain and the password is unknown.
How can I know the SSO administrator password?
VMware KB claims the SSO admin password is the user admin password of the machine - "vmware", although it does not work when I try to install vSphere web client; it fails to connect vCenter using SSO.
Did you encounter this issue?

I read that vCenter server appliance create a temporary SSO admin password during installation and deletes it right after installation is finished.
So, I will have to create an external SSO

Connect OpenAM with multiple LDAP servers

I have installed OpenAM in my ubuntu machine and installed LDAP.
I could able to authenticate with the Datastore (default : embedded) credentials, but couldn't able to connect with LDAP server.
My issues are -
When I add authentication chains with multiple(3) LDAP servers and Datastore which is default to 'Top Level Realm', I need to submit the form 4 (3 LDAP+ 1 Datastore) times to autheticate (I have added Datastore as 4th and first 3 were my LDAP servers).
Even I have tried multiple(3) possible configurations (uid, cn) for same LDAP server, nothing authenticating from the external LDAP.
Added another realm and tried passing arguments (REALM=newName) to use the new realm and it still authenticating from 'Top Level Realm'.
I am using dc=nodomain(verified) and cn=admin with admin password to bind user. OpenAm is accessing through http://localhost:8080/openam and LDAP through PhpLDAPAdmin installed at http://localhost:50389.
Please help!

Zimbra Login authentication error with external LDAP

I'm trying to login Zimbra using external LDAP which is openLDAP. When I test login authentication using Zimbra Administration console, test is successful. But I can't login Zimbra using Web client. Getting an error like this:
The username or password is incorrect. Verify that CAPS LOCK is not on, and then retype the current username and password.
Use Bind DN like Username#domain.inc
The username or password is incorrect. Verify that CAPS LOCK is not on, and then retype the current username and password.
I recently was configuring zimbra with external ldap. Got same error. I dig a little and found messages about account not found in mailbox.log. Later I found this post made by PhD on zimbra forum:
Yes that right... as zimbra uses its own internal ldap system for user accounts and system settings...
external ldap auth is just that... used for password authentication - but it still requires a valid user account in zimbra to authenticate with
So it looks like you have to first create user account in zimbra and after that you can log in with password from external ldap.
I'm not sure if there is a fix/solution to this situation - a way to configure zimbra such that admin do not have to create accounts in zimbra manually.

How to Work with Mercurial Server Repositories Without Supplying Credentials to Prompts or in .hgrc File

I have a Windows 2008 R2 IIS7 server with Mercurial under HTTPS. I connect to the Mercurial Repositories using TortoiseHG and via the web interface.
If I include my domain credentials in my ".hgrc" file I do not get prompted for domain username and password.
But if I do not have the credentials in the ".hgrc" file, I do get prompted for my domain credentials.
What I want, is to setup my Mercurial repositories security in such away that I do not have to supply credentials through a basic authentication prompt or via entering them in my personal ".hgrc" file.
The user access should be inferred by being logged into the domain on the computer I am working on.
Authentication setup:
Anonymous Authentication - Disabled
ASP.Net Impersonation - Disabled
Basic Authentication - Enabled
Forms Authentication - Disabled
Windows Authentication - Enabled
On the client side I have my credentials in my personal ".hgrc":
[auth]
tag.prefix = https://MercurialServer
tag.username = Username
tag.password = Password

Logging into Peoplesoft App-Designer in 2 Tier using LDAP authentication

I have a database with LDAP login enabled. It works fine when logging in through the PIA or when logging into app-designer through the application server.
I need to make app-designer allow me to login with 2-tier mode using LDAP authentication. Is this possible without customization?
I do not think this is possible. 2-tier logs directly into the database and more importantly, does not run the signon peoplecode that does call-outs for LDAP authentication. In fact, 2-tier is really just a Win32 app that runs no peoplecode - it isn't a peoplesoft "application." There is a user callout dll delivered with peoplesoft, and some scant documents on what you have to do to use it - but again, likely not going to meet your need. You may need to use the ldap synch online app engine job to pull in your ldap users to security tables if you want to use those login identities for 2-tier access.
The only delivered way to use LDAP Authentication for App Designer is to use connection 3-Tier through the app server. Only with the 3-Tier connection will the Signon PeopleCode be executed. With 2-Tier, there is no hook to the LDAP Server.
You could look at using the Grey Sparling Desktop Single Signon, which does integrate with App Designer and uses Windows and NTLM to grab Active Directory authentication. This would give you some degree of LDAP Authentication if you Windows machine authenticates with a domain. But it is an add-on product you would need to purchase.
Otherwise, as Epictetus mentioned, you can use the LDAP Username if you have it synced with your PeopleSoft database and use the local password stored in PSOPRDEFN.
One problem I have seen is that when using LDAP and 2 tier when you login with LDAP it somehow decrypts the password in PSOPRDEFN. The next login 2 tier by that same account throws the error cannot login please encrypt password using data movoer encrypt password *. If you encrypt that users password the same results happen following that users next LDAP login.
