Security Tab
You can congure security seings for a vSphere machine component based on NSX seings that are
congured outside vRealize Automation. You an optionally use seings from existing and on-demand NSX
security components in the blueprint design canvas.
The security seings from existing and on-demand security group and security tag components in the
blueprint design canvas are automatically available.
For information about adding and conguring NSX network and security components before using security
tab seings on a vSphere machine component, see “Conguring Network and Security Component
Seings,” on page 281.
For information about specifying blueprint-level NSX information that applies to vSphere machine
components, see “New Blueprint and Blueprint Properties Seings with NSX,” on page 278.
Table 4‑10. Security Tab Settings
Setting Description
Name Display the name of an NSX security group or tag. The
names are derived from security components in the
blueprint design canvas.
Select the check box next to a listed security group or tag to
use that group or tag for provisioning from this machine
component.
Type Indicate if the security element is an on-demand security
group, an existing security group, or a security tag.

Properties Tab
Optionally specify custom property and property group information for your vSphere machine component.
You can add individual and groups of custom properties to the machine component by using the Properties
tab. You can add also custom properties and property groups to the overall blueprint by using the
Properties tab when you create or edit a blueprint by using the New Blueprint or Blueprint Properties page,
respectively.
You can use the Custom Properties tab to add and congure options for existing custom properties. Custom
properties are supplied with vRealize Automation and you can also create property denitions.
Table 4‑11. Properties > Custom Properties Tab Settings
Setting Description
Name Enter the name of a custom property or select an available
custom property from the drop-down menu. For example,
enter the custom property name Machine.SSH to specify
whether machines provisioned by using this blueprint
allow SSH connections. Properties only appear in the drop-
down menu if your tenant administrator or fabric
administrator created property denitions.
Value Enter or edit a value to associate with the custom property
name. For example, set the value as true to allow entitled
users to connect by using SSH to machines provisioned by
using your blueprint.
Encrypted You can choose to encrypt the property value, for example,
if the value is a password.
