Start the Orchestrator Configuration Service
The VMware vCenter Orchestrator Configuration service startup type is set to Manual by default. You must
start it manually before you try to access the Orchestrator configuration interface and after you reboot.
If you installed Orchestrator standalone, the Orchestrator Configuration service is already started.
Procedure
1 Right-click My Computer on your desktop and select Manage.
2 In the Computer Management dialog box, expand Services and Applications and select Services.
3 Locate VMware vCenter Orchestrator Configuration on the list and check its status.
4 If the status is not set, right-click VMware vCenter Orchestrator Configuration and select Start.
The Orchestrator Configuration service is now running and Orchestrator configuration interface is available
for use.
What to do next
You can log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface and start the process of configuring Orchestrator.
Log In to the Orchestrator Configuration Interface
To start the configuration process, you must access the Orchestrator configuration interface.
Prerequisites
The VMware vCenter Orchestrator Configuration service must be running.
CAUTION To avoid potential exploitation of the administrative credentials, change the nonsecure password
when you first access the configuration interface. Retaining the default password might cause serious security
issues in a production environment and is a common cause of data breach.
Procedure
1 Select Start > Programs > VMware > vCenter Orchestrator Web Configuration.
You cannot view the Orchestrator configuration shortcut if you are logged in to the Orchestrator server
machine as a different user than the user who installed Orchestrator. To access the configuration interface,
go to
install_directory
\Orchestrator\configuration and double-click the VMOConfiguration shortcut.
You can also access the Orchestrator configuration interface by entering the following URL address in a
Web browser:
http://
orchestrator_server_DNS_name_or_IP_address
:8282
8282 is the default HTTP access port reserved for the Web UI of Orchestrator configuration. To enable
HTTPS connection through port 8283, you must configure Jetty to use SSL. See Jetty Documentation,
Configuring SSL.
2 Log in with the default credentials.
n
User name: vmware.
You cannot change the vmware default user name.
n
Password: vmware
You can change the password after you log in for the first time.
