DoD Security Technical Implementation Guide(STIG) ESXi VIB

This VIB has been developed to help customers rapidly implement the more challenging aspects of the vSphere STIG. These include the fact that installation is time consuming and must be done manually on the ESXi hosts. In certain cases, it may require complex scripting, or even development of an in-house VIB that would not be officially digitally signed by VMware (and therefore would not be deployed as a normal patch would).

Does the password change on the root account? After applying this the root is not able to login to the esxi host.

Are you trying to SSH? If so one of the VIB options disables root SSH per the STIG.

Will these VIBs affect the functionality of hosts running vSAN or Nutanix?

No known issues with vSAN. Nothing reported for Nutanix but have not installed one on Nutanix personally myself so can't provide any experience there.
