8 Select the method you want to use for managing user access on the vCenter Server system.
Option Description
Share a unique session
Creates only one connection to vCenter Server.
In the User name and Password text boxes, type the credentials for
Orchestrator to use to establish the connection to the vCenter Server host.
The user that you select must be a valid user with privileges to manage
vCenter Server extensions and a set of custom defined privileges.
Orchestrator uses these credentials to monitor the vCenter Web service,
typically to operate Orchestrator system workflows.
Session per user
Creates a new session to vCenter Server. This might rapidly use CPU,
memory, and bandwidth.
Select this option only if your vCenter Server is in an Active Directory
domain or if vCenter Server Single Sign-On is enabled.
The user that you select must be a valid user with privileges to manage
vCenter Server extensions.
The user account that you select is also used by the policy engine to collect statistical and other data. If
the user that you select does not have enough privileges, the policy engine cannot access the necessary
parts of the vCenter Server inventory and thus cannot collect the necessary data.
9 Click Apply changes.
The URL to the newly configured vCenter Server instance is added to the list of defined hosts.
10 Repeat Step 2 through Step 9 for each vCenter Server instance.
What to do next
Import the SSL certificates for each vCenter Server instance that you defined.
