[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (VCL-579) provision ESXi as an end-user environment

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-579?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13269723#comment-13269723 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------

Some notes:

  * sub grand_access() configures the ESXi server after user click Connect! button:
  - it mounts user's NFS storage, 
  - add user, set reservation password (this requires a change in /etc/pam.d/system-auth to allow less complex passwords used be VCL) and add admin role.
  - it also scans and register all VMs on user's storage, so user is presented with all the VM he/she already have, just need to power ON. 

* sub sanitize() will return 1 if user never clicked the Connect! button. ESXi image won't be reloaded, it take some time to reload bare-metal on HS22 server...
