Introduction
This post is a part of a series of posts for preparation for the VCAP6-CMA Deploy exam. For the full exam prep resources check here .
In this post we are covering the configuration of the Advanced Services Endpoint for vCenter Server.
Prerequisite Steps
- A fully deployed vRealize Automation implementation.
- An external Orchestrator deployment (see HOWTO: Deploy the vRealize Orchestrator 6.x Appliance for vRealize Automation )
Step by Step Guide
- Navigate to and Log into the vRealize Automation Tenant Portal as a Tenant Administration user.
- Navigate to Administration > Orchestration Configuration > Endpoints.

- Click Add.

Note:
You will only get the Active DIrectory plug-in warning if you have already configured that plug-in.
- Select vCenter Server from the Plug-in dropdown.

- Click Next.

- Type the Name of the endpoint into the Name text field and (optionally) provide a Description.

- Click Next.

- Type the FQDN of the vCenter Server into the IP or host name of the vCenter Server instance to add text field. Leave all other settings as their defaults.

- Click Next.

- Enter the Username and Password of a user that Orchestrator can use.

Note:
The user must be a valid user with privileges to manage vCenter Server extensions and a set of custom defined privileges.
- Click Add.

Note:
If you have already configured vRO to connect to vCenter using the Add a vCenter Server Instance workflow, you will get an error. You can run the Remove a vCenter Server Instance workflow and then retry.
