Virtual Appliance Installation
To deploy the Identity Appliance and the vRealize Appliance, you must have administrator privileges on
the deployment platform (for example, vSphere administrator credentials).
During the deployment process, you specify the passwords for the virtual appliance administrator
accounts and the system administrator account. These accounts provide access to the Identity Appliance
and vRealize Appliance management consoles where you configure and administer the virtual
appliances.
IaaS Installation
Before installing IaaS components, add the user under which you plan to execute the IaaS installation
programs to the Administrator group on the installation host.
IaaS Database Credentials
You can create the database using the installation wizard or create it manually by running the provided
scripts. If you use the complete install option to create a minimal installation, you must create the
database using the installer.
When you use the IaaS installer to create or populate the IaaS database the following requirements
apply:
n
If you use the installer to create the database and select Use Windows Authentication, the
credentials under which you executed the installer must have the sysadmin role in SQL Server to
create and alter the size of the database.
n
If you use the installer to create the database and do not select Use Windows Authentication, you
must provide SQL credentials with the sysadmin role. If you do not use Windows authentication, the
credentials you provide are used only for database creation (not for run-time access after initial
creation).
n
If you use the installer to populate a pre-created database, the user credentials you provide (either
the current Windows user or the specified SQL user) needs only dbo privileges for the IaaS
database.
Note vRealize Automation users also require the correct level of Windows authentication access to log
in and use vRealize Automation. The machine from which the user authenticates using Windows
Authentication must be joined to the domain in which the vRealize Automation Identity Appliance is
configured. See Configure the Identity Stores for the Default Tenant.
IaaS Service User Credentials
IaaS installs several Windows services that share a single service user.
