InSpec-VMware Example Profile

Scope

This is an example of the powercli_command InSpec resource and a TSM-SSH control.

Usage

Setup

Via Vagrant

vagrant up
vagrant ssh
sudo pwsh -Command "& {Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -Confirm:\\$False}"
inspec exec inspec-vmware-example -t vmware://USERNAME@VISERVER --password PASSWORD

Via Bundle

git clone https://github.com/jjasghar/inspec-vmware-example.git
cd inspec-vmware-example
bundle install
bundle exec inspec vendor
sudo pwsh -Command "& {Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -Confirm:\\$False}"
bundle exec inspec exec . -t vmware://USERNAME@VISERVER --password PASSWORD

Self-Signed Certs

If you have self signed certificates on your ESXi/vCenter instances you will need to run the following commands from the host you want to run InSpec from.

$ pwsh
PS >  Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore

If you don't the initial Connect-VIserver will fail with not being able to find PowerShell.
