When you log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface for the first time, you see the installation path, the
Orchestrator version, and the server status in the Information tab. The status indicators of all tabs on the left
display red triangles, indicating that the components are not configured.
What to do next
Select a tab and follow the links in the inspector on the right, entering the necessary information until a green
circle appears on the selected tab. The green circle indicates that your configuration changes are correct and
that all dependencies are met.
Change the Default Password
You must change the default password to avoid potential security issues.
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.
