Register Orchestrator as a vCenter Single Sign On Solution in Basic Mode
You can register the Orchestrator server with a vCenter Single Sign On server by using the simple mode
registration form in the Orchestrator configuration interface. The simple mode registration is easier and initially
you should only provide the URL of your vCenter Single Sign On server and the credentials of the vCenter
Single Sign On admin.
Prerequisites
Install and configure VMware vCenter Single Sign On and verify that your vCenter Single Sign On server is
running.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
2 Click Authentication.
3 Select SSO Authentication from the Authentication mode drop-down menu.
4 In the Host text box, type the URL for the machine on which you have installed the vCenter Single Sign
On server.
https://
your_vcenter_single_sign_on_server
:7444
5 In the Admin user name and Admin password text boxes, type the credentials of the vCenter Single Sign
On admin.
The account is temporarily used only for registering or removing Orchestrator as a solution.
6 Click Register Orchestrator.
