What modifications were made to the vcenter_saml_login.py script to run directly on vCenter?
The script was modified to remove reliance on the third-party package bitstring by integrating its functionality directly. Additionally, f-string formatting was replaced with the .format() method because vCenter 6.7 uses Python 3.5.6, which does not support f-strings. The optimized script, vCenter_ExtraCertFromMdb.py, outputs the domain and certificate files needed for SAML authentication.
