With SDDC Manager, you can perform password remediation for the VMware Aria Automation account. Password remediation is the process of updating the SDDC Manager inventory with an updated password for a specific account and then, automatically, rotating it.
Password remediation is typically used after expiration of a password and is required for re-establishing connectivity from the SDDC Manager.
