After the workflow runs successfully, the SOAP host appears in the Inventory view.
What to do next
You can explore the SOAP host objects and run workflows on them from the Inventory view.
Configure Kerberos Authentication
You can use Kerberos authentication when you add a host.
The krb5.conf file contains the following information:
n
Kerberos configuration information
n
Locations of Key Distribution Centers (KDC) and administration servers for the Kerberos realms of
interest
n
Default values for the current realm and for Kerberos applications
n
Mappings of host names onto Kerberos realms
Procedure
u
Create a krb5.conf file and save it to the following location.
Operating System Path
Windows
your_Orchestrator_installation_folder/jre/lib/security/
Linux
/opt/vmo/jre/lib/security
A krb5.conf file has the following structure:
[libdefaults]
default_realm = YOURDOMAIN.COM
udp_preference_limit = 1
[realms]
YOURDOMAIN.COM = {
kdc = kdc.yourdomain.com
default_domain = yourdomain.com
}
[domain_realms]
.yourdomain.com=YOURDOMAIN.COM
yourdomain.com=YOURDOMAIN.COM
NOTE The Kerberos authentication requires a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) host address.
IMPORTANT When you add or modify the krb5.conf file, you must restart the Orchestrator server
service.

You can integrate custom-generated workflows into high-level workflows. For more information about
