Custom Property Description
VCNS.SecurityGroup.Names.name Specifies the NSX security group or groups to which the virtual
machine is assigned during provisioning. The value is a security
group name or a list of names separated by commas. Names
are case-sensitive.
Appending a name allows you to create multiple versions of the
property, which can be used separately or in combination. For
example, the following properties can list security groups
intended for general use, for the sales force, and for support:
n
VCNS.SecurityGroup.Names
n
VCNS.SecurityGroup.Names.sales
n
VCNS.SecurityGroup.Names.support
VCNS.SecurityTag.Names.name Specifies the NSX security tag or tags to which the virtual
machine is associated during provisioning. The value is a
security tag name or a list of names separated by commas.
Names are case-sensitive.

Custom Properties and Property Groups for Containers
You can add predefined property groups to a containers component in a vRealize Automation blueprint.
When machines are provisioned by using a blueprint that contain these properties, the provisioned
machine is registered as a Docker Container host machine.
Containers for vRealize Automation supplied the following two property groups of container-specific
custom properties. When you add a container component to a blueprint you can add these property
groups to the container to register provisioned machines as container hosts.
n
Container host properties with certificate authentication
n
Container host properties with user/password authentication
These property groups are visible in vRealize Automation when you select Administration > Property
Dictionary > Property Groups.
Because property groups are shared by all tenants, if you are working in a multi-tenant environment,
consider cloning and customizing your properties. By uniquely naming property groups and properties in
the groups, you can edit them to define custom values for use in a specific tenant.
The most commonly used properties are Container.Auth.PublicKey and
Container.Auth.PrivateKey in which the container administrator provides the client certificate for
authenticating with the container host.
