Esxi new install , vpxuser and dcui user danger ?

[turalo]

Hi guys, I'm deploying my first EsXi server, after install I see 2 users that are created by the system, the question is about the security, is it possible to login remotely to the server using this accounts ? the vpx user and dcui?

if yes does that mean I need to change the password ? or is this only system acount which is not enabled to login from remote ip adresses ?

please advice.

thanks in advance.

Vpxuser is used by vCenter to perform activities on the host. It is created by the system. Do not touch the account as it will cause issues on the system.

DCUI user is used to configure lockdown mode and also for direct console user interface.

I would suggest you not to do anything with the accounts. You will n ot set the passwords for them so no one would be able to login into using them.
