[Feature Request] Functionality without vCenter server #51

Just a quick question. You write in the docs that the SRS "automatically connects to the target vCenter Servers", but does it require a vCenter server for deployment or operation? Does it operate just with ESXi hosts? For example, the vCenter may be crashed or just not fully booted after a complete reboot of my cluster.

It uses the VC SSO as the identity provider and authentication, meaning you won't be able to authenticate in front of the SRS API without SSO running.

The use-case sounds reasonable though. We can convert the question to a feature request to enable deployment without vCenter Server and let the user to do the Connect-VIServer on its own.

Sounds awesome, thanks for clarifying!
