4 Type a URL with the fully qualified name or IP address of the vRealize Orchestrator server and the
vRealize Orchestrator port number.
The format depends on the version of the vRealize Orchestrator server.
vRealize Orchestrator version URL format
5.1 https://hostname:port
5.5 https://hostname:port/vco
The transport protocol must be HTTPS. If no port is specified, the default port 8281 is used.
To use the default vRealize Orchestrator instance embedded in the vRealize Appliance, type
https://vrealize-automation-appliance-hostname:8281/vco.
5 Specify the credentials to use to connect to this endpoint.
a Click the ellipsis next to the Credentials field.
b Select an existing credential from the list or click New Credentials to provide your
vRealize Orchestrator credentials.
The credentials you use should have Execute permissions for any vRealize Orchestrator
workflows to call from IaaS.
To use the default vRealize Orchestrator instance embedded in the vRealize Appliance, the user
name is administrator@vsphere.local and the password is the administrator password that
was specified when configuring SSO.
6 Specify the endpoint priority.
a Click New Property.
b Type VMware.VCenterOrchestrator.Priority in the Name text box.
The property name is case sensitive.
c Type an integer greater than or equal to 1 in the Value text box.

7 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 workflow for any machine provisioned from this blueprint, it
always uses the associated endpoint. If the endpoint is not reachable, the workflow fails.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a tenant administrator or business group manager.
