Configure the Default Plug-Ins
To deploy the set of default plug-ins when the Orchestrator server starts, the Orchestrator system must
authenticate against an LDAP or vCenter Single Sign On server. You first specify the administrative credentials
that Orchestrator uses with the plug-ins, and enable or disable plug-ins.
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 contains information about the
version of the plug-ins already installed, and forces plug-in reinstallation.
Prerequisites
Set up an LDAP or vCenter Single Sign On server and configure the Orchestrator authentication settings.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
