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.
