Using the Configuration Plug-In 4
In addition to configuring Orchestrator by using the Orchestrator Web Configuration interface, you can
modify the Orchestrator server configuration settings by running workflows from the Configuration plug-
in.
With the Configuration plug-in you can configure the Orchestrator server networking, authentication
settings, database, and so on.
