Add the vRealize Automation Password to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager for Private Cloud Automation for VMware Cloud Foundation

Before deploying vRealize Automation by using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, you must add the password for the vRealize Automation appliance root user to the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager locker. Additionally, if you have not created the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager cross-instance environment as part of another validated solution, before creating the cross-instance environment for vRealize Automation, you must add the password for the environment admin account to the locker.

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager uses the vRealize Automation root password only for the vRealize Automation deployment. After deploying vRealize Automation in a vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager logical environment configured for VMware Cloud Foundation mode, the root password for the vRealize Automation appliances is managed by SDDC Manager. See Password Management for Private Cloud Automation for VMware Cloud Foundation.

If you have a vRealize Operations Manager implementation in your VMware Cloud Foundation environment as another validated solution, you already added the admin password for the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager cross-instance environment.

UI Procedure

Log in to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager at https://<vrealize_suite_lifecycle_manager_fqdn> as vcfadmin@local.
On the My services page, click Locker.
In the navigation pane, click Passwords.
On the Passwords page, click Add.

The Add password page appears.
Configure the vRealize Automation root password according to your values in the VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook, optionally, enter a password description, and click Add.
If you have not integrated vRealize Operations Manager as another validated solution, repeat the procedure for the admin password for the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager cross-instance environment.

PowerShell Procedure

Start Windows PowerShell.

Replace the values in the sample code with values from your VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook and run the commands in the PowerShell console.

$sddcManagerFqdn = "sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io"
$sddcManagerUser = "administrator@vsphere.local"
$sddcManagerPass = "VMw@re1!"

$rootPasswordAlias = "vra-root"
$rootPassword = "VMw@re1!"
$rootUserName = "root"

If you have not integrated vRealize Operations Manager as another validated solution, replace the values in the sample code with values for the admin password of the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager cross-instance environment from your VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook and run the commands in the PowerShell console.
```
$xintPasswordAlias = "xint-env-admin"
$xintPassword = "VMw@re1!"
$xintUserName = "admin"
```

Perform the configuration for the vRealize Automation root password by running the command in the PowerShell console.

New-vRSLCMLockerPassword -server $sddcManagerFqdn -user $sddcManagerUser -pass $sddcManagerPass -alias $rootPasswordAlias -password $rootPassword -userName $rootUserName

If you have not integrated vRealize Operations Manager as another validated solution, perform the configuration for the admin password of the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager cross-instance environment.
```
New-vRSLCMLockerPassword -server $sddcManagerFqdn -user $sddcManagerUser -pass $sddcManagerPass -alias $xintPasswordAlias -password $xintPassword -userName $xintUserName
```
