2 On the General tab, click Install Application.
3 Browse to select the .vmoapp file to install.
4 Click Install.
What to do next
Every time you install an application, a validation is made on the server configuration. In most cases, you must
perform additional configuration steps on a tab that the new application adds to the Orchestrator configuration
interface.
Import the Plug-In Licenses
The set of plug-ins that Orchestrator includes does not require a license. If you add a plug-in that requires a
license, you must import it in the Orchestrator configuration interface.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
2 Click Licenses.
3 On the Licenses tab, click Plug-in Licenses.
4 In the Serial number text box, type your plug-in license key.
5 Click Apply changes.
What to do next
To view details, click the name of the imported license.
Change the Web View SSL Certificate
Orchestrator provides an SSL certificate that controls user access to Web views. You can configure Orchestrator
to use a different SSL certificate to control access to Web views. For example, if your company security policy
requires you to use their SSL certificates.
Procedure
1 Create an SSL certificate by running the keytool Java utility at the command prompt.
keytool -genkey -alias mySslCertificate -keyalg RSA
The keytool utility generates a file called .keystore by using the information and password that you
provide when you run the command.
2 Open the following Orchestrator application server configuration file in an editor.
