Query vCenter account (user) E-Mail via vSphere API

[Aviator20111014]

Hi *,

if you create a user account using the vSphere Client you can also enter an E-Mail address for that user.

I would like to query the E-Mail from a user account. Normally I use PowerCLI to get things done and I tried

Get-VIAccount -Domain vsphere.local -Id testuser

The cmdlet returns Id, Server, Description , Domain, Name, Uid and ExtensionData

But unfortunately it dies not return the user's E-Mail address, even ExtensionData does not contain it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm afraid that all SSO related API are private and not exposed through the PowerCLI framework.

Hi. Thanks for your help.

But I wonder why I can query all user information I can see in the vSphere Client, but not the E-Mail address 😉

Maybe there is another way besides PowerCLI to get the information?

Not that I know of.
If you find a tool or API, please let me know.

This has been on my list for a long time.
