Procedure
1 To configure the your Orchestrator plug-in endpoints, browse to the location based on your current
version.

Click Add ( ).
3 Select Active Directory from the Plug-in drop-down menu.
4 Click Next.
5 Enter a name and, optionally, a description.
6 Click Next.
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.
c Enter the root element of the Active Directory service in the Root text box.
For example, if your domain name is mycompany.com, then your root Active Directory is
dc=mycompany,dc=com.
This node is used for browsing your service directory after entering the appropriate credentials.
For large service directories, specifying a node in the tree narrows the search and improves
performance. For example, rather than searching in the entire directory, you can specify
ou=employees,dc=mycompany,dc=com. This root element displays all the users in the
Employees group.
