IIS Application Pool Identity
The account you use as the IIS application pool identity for the Model Manager Web service must have
Log on as batch job permission.
IaaS Database Credentials
You can let the vRealize Automation installer create the database, or you can create it separately using
SQL Server. When the vRealize Automation installer creates the database, the following requirements
apply.
n
For the vRealize Automation installer, if you select Windows Authentication, the account that runs the
Management Agent on the primary IaaS Web server must have the sysadmin role in SQL to create
and alter the size of the database.
n
For the vRealize Automation installer, even if you do not select Windows Authentication, the account
that runs the Management Agent on the primary IaaS Web server must have the sysadmin role in
SQL because the credentials are used at runtime.
n
If you separately create the database, the Windows user or SQL user credentials that you provide
only need dbo permission on the database.
IaaS Database Security Passphrase
The database security passphrase generates an encryption key that protects data in the IaaS SQL
database. You specify the security passphrase on the IaaS Host page of the Installation Wizard.
n
Plan to use the same database security passphrase across the entire installation so that each
component has the same encryption key.
n
Record the passphrase, because you need the passphrase to restore the database if there is a failure
or to add components after initial installation.
n
The database security passphrase cannot contain a double quotation mark ( " ) character. The
passphrase is accepted when you create it but causes the installation to fail.
vSphere Endpoints
If you plan to provision to a vSphere endpoint, you need a domain or local account with enough
permission to perform operations on the target. The account also needs the appropriate level of
permission configured in vRealize Orchestrator.
vRealize Automation Administrator Password
After installation, the vRealize Automation administrator password logs you in to the default tenant. You
specify the administrator password on the Single Sign-On page of the Installation Wizard.
