When you add a vRealize Orchestrator plug-in as an endpoint by using the vRealize Automation UI, you
run a configuration workflow in the default vRealize Orchestrator server. The configuration workflows are
located in the vRealize Automation > XaaS > Endpoint Configuration workflows folder.
Important Configuring a single plug-in in vRealize Orchestrator and in the vRealize Automation console
is not supported and results in errors.
Configure the Active Directory Plug-In as an Endpoint
You add an endpoint and configure the Active Directory plug-in to connect to a running Active Directory
instance and manage users and user groups, Active Directory computers, organizational units, and so on.
After you add an Active Directory endpoint, you can update it at any time.
Prerequisites

Verify that you have access to a Microsoft Active Directory instance. See the Microsoft Active
Directory documentation.

Click the New icon ( ).
3 In the Plug-in drop-down menu, select Active Directory.
4 Click Next.
5 Enter a name and, optionally, a description.

7 Configure the Active Directory server details.
a Enter the IP address or the DNS name of the host on which Active Directory runs in the Active
Directory host IP/URL text box.
b Enter the lookup port of your Active Directory server in the Port text box.
vRealize Orchestrator supports the Active Directory hierarchical domains structure. If your
domain controller is configured to use Global Catalog, you must use port 3268. You cannot use
the default port 389 to connect to the Global Catalog server. In addition to ports 389 and 3268,
you can use 636 for LDAPS.
