Create a vCloud Endpoint for vCloud Director
An IaaS administrator can create a vCloud endpoint to connect to a vCloud Director server.
For information about Organization vDCs, see VMware vCloud Director
®
documentation.
See also Creating a vCloud Endpoint.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as an IaaS administrator.
n
Store User Credentials for vCloud Endpoints.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Endpoints > Endpoints.
2 Select New Endpoint > Cloud > vApp (vCloud).
3 Enter a name and, optionally, a description.
4 Type the URL for the endpoint in the Address text box.
The URL specifies the fully qualified host name or IP address of the vCloud Director server. The URL
must be specified using either a FQDN format or an IP address.
For example: https://mycompany.com
5 Select the Credentials for the endpoint.

To connect to the vCloud Director server and specify the organization for which the user has the
administrator role, use organization administrator credentials. With these credentials, the
endpoint can only access the associated organization virtual datacenters. You can add endpoints
for each additional organization in the vCloud Director instance to integrate with
vRealize Automation.
n
To allow access to all Organization vDCs in the vCloud Director instance, use system
administrator credentials for a vCloud Director and leave the Organization text box empty.
