Disable Access to the Orchestrator Client By Nonadministrators
You can configure the Orchestrator server to deny access to the Orchestrator client to all users who are not
members of the Orchestrator administrator LDAP group.
By default, all users who are granted execute permissions can connect to the Orchestrator client. However, you
can limit access to the Orchestrator client to Orchestrator administrators by setting a system property in the
vmo.properties Orchestrator configuration file.
IMPORTANT If the vmo.properties configuration file does not contain this property, or if the property is set to
false, Orchestrator permits access to the Orchestrator client by all users.
Procedure
1 Navigate to the following folder on the Orchestrator server system.
Option Action
If you installed Orchestrator with the
vCenter Server installer
Go to
install_directory \VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-
server\server\vmo\conf.
If you installed the standalone
version of Orchestrator
Go to install_directory \VMware\Orchestrator\app-
server\server\vmo\conf.
2 Open the vmo.properties configuration file in a text editor.
