16 Select the host's authentication type.
Option Description
SSO
Select this to use vCenter Single Sign-On.
NTLM
Select this to enable NT LAN Manager (NTLM) protocol-based
authentication only if your Active Directory infrastructure relies on NTLM
authentication.
If you select this option, you must the additional NTLM credentials and
authentication options.
17 If you selected NTLM, click Next and enter the name of the Workstation machine and the NetBIOS
domain name.
18 Click Submit.
Install vRealize Orchestrator Customization
You can run a workow to install the customized state change workow stubs and Orchestrator menu
operation workows.
N The workow stubs are replaced by the event broker workow subscriptions. They are still available,
supported, and they can be used, but expect them to be removed in a future version of vRealize Automation.
To ensure future product compatibility, you should use the workow subscriptions to run custom
workows based on state changes. See “Conguring Workow Subscriptions to Extend vRealize
Automation,” on page 12.
Procedure
1 From the drop-down menu in the Orchestrator client, select Run or Design.
2 Click the view.
3 Select Library > vCloud Automation Center > Infrastructure Administration > Extensibility >
Installation.
4 Right-click the Install vCO customization workow and select Start .
5 Select an IaaS host.
6 Click Next.
7 Choose the lifecycle stages to which you want to add custom logic by selecting one or more state change
workow stubs to install.
8 Click Submit.
Create a vRealize Orchestrator Endpoint
You can create a vRealize Orchestrator endpoint to connect to a vRealize Orchestrator server.
You can congure multiple endpoints to connect to dierent vRealize Orchestrator servers, but you must
congure a priority for each endpoint.
When executing vRealize Orchestrator workows, vRealize Automation tries the highest priority
vRealize Orchestrator endpoint rst. If that endpoint is not reachable, then it proceeds to try the next highest
priority endpoint until a vRealize Orchestrator server is available to run the workow.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as an IaaS administrator.
