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.
Changing SSL Certificates
By default, the Orchestrator server uses a self-signed SSL certificate to communicate remotely with the
Orchestrator client. Orchestrator also provides an SSL certificate that controls user access to Web views. You
can change the SSL certificates, for example if your company security policy requires you to use its SSL
certificates.
Install a Certificate from a Certificate Authority
To change an SSL certificate, you must first obtain a certificate from a CA and import it in your local keystore.
Procedure
1 Create a local 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 Create a certificate signing request by running the following command in the Java utility.
keytool -certreq -keyalg RSA -alias mySslCertificate -file certreq.csr \
-keystore <your_keystore_filename>
The utility generates a file called certreq.csr.
3 Submit the certreq.csr file to a certificate authority, such as VeriSign or Thawte.
Procedures might vary from one CA to another, but they all require a valid proof of your identity.
The CA returns a certificate that you must import.
