5 Provide your vRealize Orchestrator credentials in the User name and Password text boxes to connect to
the vRealize Orchestrator endpoint.
The credentials you use should have Execute permissions for any vRealize Orchestrator workows to
call from IaaS.
To use the default vRealize Orchestrator instance embedded in the vRealize Automation appliance, the
user name is [e-mail] and the password is the administrator password that was
specied when conguring SSO.
6 Enter an integer greater than or equal to 1 in Priority text box.
A lower value species a higher priority.
7 (Optional) Click Properties and add supplied custom properties, property groups, or your own
property denitions for the endpoint.
8 Click OK.
Associate a vRealize Orchestrator Endpoint with a Blueprint
You can specify a particular vRealize Orchestrator endpoint to use with a blueprint.
When IaaS runs a vRealize Orchestrator workow for any machine provisioned from this blueprint, it
always uses the associated endpoint. If the endpoint is not reachable, the workow fails.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as an infrastructure architect.
Procedure
1 Select Design > Blueprints.
2 Create a new blueprint or edit an existing blueprint.
If you are editing an existing blueprint, the vRealize Orchestrator endpoint you specify only applies to
new machines provisioned from the updated blueprint. Existing machines provisioned from the
blueprint continue to use the highest priority endpoint unless you manually add this property to the
machine.
3 Click the Properties tab.
a Click New Property.
b Type VMware.VCenterOrchestrator.EndpointName in the Name text box.
The property name is case sensitive.
c Type the name of a vRealize Orchestrator endpoint in the Value text box.
d
Click the Save icon ( ).
4 Click OK.
Customizing IaaS Workflows By Using vRealize Automation Designer
VMware provides a number of workows that you can customize using the vRealize Automation Designer.
These include state change workows and menu operation workows.
IaaS workows are created using Microsoft Windows Workow Foundation 4, part of .NET Framework 4.
For information on Windows Workow Foundation and workow creation, refer to the Microsoft
documentation. vRealize Automation also provides several vRealize Automation Designer activities for
running and monitoring vRealize Orchestrator workows.
