You register the Automation Orchestrator server with a vCenter Single Sign-On server by using the vSphere authentication mode. Use vCenter Single Sign-On authentication with vCenter 7.0 and later.
Depending on the configuration of the vCenter server being used to authenticate Automation Orchestrator, your authentication uses either the built-in identity provider or VMware Single Sign-On (VMware SSO).VMware SSO allows you to use an external identity provider to sign in to your vCenter server hosts.
If both the built-in and external identity providers are available in the vCenter server used for authentication, the external identity provider is the preferred method.
Prerequisites
- Download and deploy the latest version of the Automation Orchestrator Appliance. See Download and Deploy the Automation Orchestrator Appliance.
- Install and configure a vCenter with vCenter Single Sign-On running. See the vSphere documentation.
- If you plan to create a cluster, set up a load balancer to distribute traffic among multiple instances of Automation Orchestrator. Go to Load Balancing Guide.
