Configure the Default Plug-Ins
To deploy the set of default plug-ins when the Orchestrator server starts, the Orchestrator system must
authenticate against the LDAP server. You can specify the administrative credentials that Orchestrator uses
with plug-ins, and enable or disable plug-ins on the Plug-ins tab.
If you change the Orchestrator database after configuring and installing the default plug-ins, you must click
the Reset current version link on the Troubleshooting tab. This operation deletes the install_directory \app-
server\server\vmo\plugins\_VSOPluginInstallationVersion.xml file, which holds the version of the plug-ins
already installed, and forces plug-in reinstallation.
Prerequisites
Set up an LDAP server and configure the Orchestrator LDAP settings.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
2 Click Plug-ins.
3 Type the credentials for a user who is a member of the Orchestrator Administration group that you
specified on the LDAP tab.
When the Orchestrator server starts, the system uses these credentials to set up the plug-ins. The system
checks the enabled plug-ins and performs any necessary internal installations such as package import,
policy run, script launch, and so on.
4 (Optional) To disable a plug-in, deselect the check box next to it.
This action does not remove the plug-in file.
5 Click Apply changes.
On the Plug-ins tab, the red triangle changes to a green circle to indicate that the component is now configured
correctly. The first time the server boots, it installs the selected plug-ins.
What to do next
You can configure the settings for Mail, SSH, and vCenter Server plug-ins.
Define the Default SMTP Connection
The Mail plug-in is installed with Orchestrator Server and is used for email notifications. The only option
available for this plug-in is to use default values for new mail messages. You can set the default email account.
Avoid load balancers when configuring mail in Orchestrator. You might receive SMTP_HOST_UNREACHABLE error.
