Installing and Configuring the
Horizon vRealize Orchestrator Plug-
In 2
Installing the Horizon vRealize Orchestrator plug-in is similar to installing other vRealize Orchestrator
plug-ins. Configuring the plug-in involves running various configuration workflows to connect to View
components and to configure roles and permissions.

Horizon vRealize Orchestrator Plug-In Functional Prerequisites
The Horizon vRealize Orchestrator plug-in acts as middleware between Horizon 6, vRealize Orchestrator,
and vRealize Automation. To be able to install and use the Horizon vRealize Orchestrator plug-in, your
system must meet certain functional prerequisites.
VMware Horizon 6
You must have access to a View Connection Server 6.0.1 or 6.1 instance. The Horizon vRealize Orchestrator
plug-in works with VMware Horizon 6.
For more information about setting up VMware Horizon 6 (that is, version 6.0.1 or 6.1), see the View
Installation and View Administration documents, available from the documentation page at
https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/view_pubs.html.
vRealize Orchestrator
Verify that you have a running instance of Orchestrator. You can log in to the Orchestrator configuration
interface at http://orchestrator_server:8283. The Horizon vRealize Orchestrator plug-in works with vCenter
Orchestrator 5.5.2 and vRealize Orchestrator 6.0 or 6.0.1.
NOTE For vRealize Orchestrator 6.0 , no installable Windows client version is available. You must use a
browser to log in to Orchestrator, and a Java-based client is used. Do not use the vCenter Orchestrator 5.5.2
Windows client to connect to vRealize Orchestrator 6.0 or 6.0.1.
