Password Rotation and Remediation for Private Cloud Automation for VMware Cloud Foundation

To improve the security posture of the system, you must change passwords for the accounts that are used by your VMware Cloud Foundation instance. Changing these passwords periodically or when certain events occur, such as an administrator leaving your organization, reduces the likelihood of security vulnerabilities.

When VMware Aria Automation is deployed in VMware Cloud Foundation mode, SDDC Manager provides password management for the default root user account for VMware Aria Automation appliances.
