For instructions about configuring the vCenter Server plug-in, see “Configure the vCenter Server Plug-
In,” on page 59.
10 Modify the network settings on both Orchestrator server instances to reflect your environment, if
necessary.
For instructions about configuring the Orchestrator network settings, see “Configure the Network
Connection,” on page 37.
11 On Orchestrator server 2, configure and install the plug-ins that you installed in Step 4.
12 Synchronize the clocks of the machines on which the Orchestrator server instances are installed.
13 Start Orchestrator server 1 and wait until it starts successfully. You can then start the other Orchestrator
server nodes.
To verify that the server started successfully, click the Server Availability tab of the Orchestrator
configuration interface and wait until the name of the Orchestrator server appears under Started cluster
nodes with a Running status.
You can add more Orchestrator server nodes to the cluster by repeating Step 7 to Step 12.
Registering Orchestrator with vCenter Single Sign-On in the vCenter
Server Appliance
If you want to configure Orchestrator to work with the VMware vCenter Server Appliance, and want to run
workflows by using the vSphere Web Client, you must configure the Orchestrator server to work with
vCenter Single Sign-On, which is prebuilt in the appliance.
IMPORTANT Ensure that the clocks of the Orchestrator server machine and the vCenter Server Appliance are
synchronized. Otherwise you might receive cryptic vCenter Single Sign-On errors.
This workflow describes the process to change the self-signed certificate.
1 Download and deploy the VMware vCenter Server Appliance.
See vSphere Installation and Setup for instructions.
2 Import the SSL and vCenter Single Sign-On certificates of the vCenter Server instance running in the
vCenter Server Appliance into Orchestrator.
You import certificates from the Orchestrator configuration interface. For more information about
importing certificates, see “Import the vCenter Server SSL Certificate,” on page 39 and “Import the
vCenter Single Sign-On SSL Certificate,” on page 41.
n
For importing the SSL certificate of the vCenter Server instance running in the appliance, in the
Import from URL text box, type
your_vcenter_server_appliance_ip_address:vcenter_server_api_port.
n
For importing the vCenter Single Sign-On certificate, in the Import from URL text box, type
your_vcenter_server_appliance_ip_address:single_sign_on_port.
3 In the Orchestrator configuration interface, click Authentication and select SSO Authentication.
4 Register Orchestrator to work with vCenter Single Sign-On:
a In the Host text box, type your_vcenter_server_appliance_ip_address:single_sign_on_port
b In the Admin user name and the Admin password text boxes, type the credentials of the root user
of the vCenter Server Appliance.
c Click Register Orchestrator.
d Complete the registration by selecting the vCO Admin domain and group from the drop-down
menu.
