TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER / 8

What’s New in the VMware vSphere 6.0 Platform

Platform Services Controller

The PSC includes common services used across VMware vCloud Suite®. This includes VMware vCenter

Single Sign-On™, licensing, and certiﬁcate management.

PSCs replicate information such as licenses, roles and permissions, and tags with other PSCs.

Enhanced Linked Mode

Because PSCs replicate all the information traditionally required for linked mode, linked mode is now

automatically enabled for any vCenter Server deployment. This is true when using a Windows install,

vCenter Server Appliance, or a mix of the two, as long as all vCenter Server instances are joined to the same

vCenter Single Sign-On domain. This eliminates extra conﬁguration steps traditionally required to establish

linked mode and enables vCenter Server Appliance to now utilize it.

Certiﬁcate Management

In vSphere 6.0, “solution users”—the users created when a solution such as vCenter Server, vCenter Inventory

Service, and so on, is registered with vCenter Single Sign-On—are utilized as certiﬁcate endpoints. These users

are issued certiﬁcates instead of individual services. This enables the services associated with a solution user to

utilize the same certiﬁcate, substantially reducing the number of certiﬁcates required to manage in the environment.

The PSC contains the VMware Certiﬁcate Authority (VMCA). The VMCA is a root certiﬁcate authority (CA) that

issues signed certiﬁcates to all vSphere 6.0 components via the solution users. This secures the environment by

using a CA to generate certiﬁcates as opposed to using self-signed certiﬁcates as in previous releases.

The VMCA can also be conﬁgured as a subordinate CA, enabling it to issue certiﬁcates based on an existing

enterprise CA. Organizations that have an investment in a CA can easily incorporate the VMCA into their

existing infrastructure.
