Example: Command to Register a Management Agent Certificate
Vcac-Config.exe RegisterNode -v -vamih "vra-va.eng.mycompany:5480" -cu "root" -cp
"secret" -hn "iaas.eng.mycompany" -nd "C816CFBX-4830-4FD2-8951-C17429CEA291" -tp
"70928851D5B72B206E4B1CF9F6ED953EE1103DED"
Change the Polling Method for Certificates
If there are commas in the OU section of the IaaS certificate, you might encounter STOMP WebSocket
errors in the Manager Service log files. In addition, virtual machine provisioning might fail. You can
remove the commas, or change the polling method from WebSocket to HTTP.
To change the polling method, take the following steps.
Procedure
1 Open the following file in a text editor.
C:\\:Program FIles (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Server\Manager Service.exe.config.
2 Add the following lines inside the <appSettings> section.
<add key="Extensibility.Client.RetrievalMethod" value="Polling"/>
<add key="Extensibility.Client.PollingInterval" value="2000"/>
<add key="Extensibility.Client.PollingMaxEvents" value="128"/>
3 Save and close Manager Service.exe.config.
4 Restart the Manager Service.

Managing the vRealize Automation Postgres Appliance
Database
vRealize Automation requires the appliance database for system operation. You can manage the
appliance database through the vRealize Automation Appliance Virtual Appliance Management Interface.
Note This information applies only to deployments that use an embedded appliance database. It does
not apply to deployments that use an external Postgres database.
