      Windows machines that host the Model Manager Web service, Manager Service, and Microsoft SQL Server database must be able to resolve each other by Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) name. To authenticate vRealize Automation through an external VMware Identity Manager, you can either click the vRealize Automation application icon in the VMware Identity Manager catalog or manually logging in to vRealize Automation through the tenant URL. If the authentication fails, then the following error is displayed: Identity Manager encountered an error. Contact your admin and provide information displayed below.
    6. If the database instance is an existing one or it is on a non-default port, include the port number in an instance specification by using the form dbhost,SQL_port_number\SQLinstance. If the database instance is a new one and default instance is expected, then provide hostname of the DB VM only. If you specify a port number or named instance, use FQDN,Port\Instance format. If the database already exists and no changes needed then from advanced properties, you can provide the database name. For more information, see Microsoft SQL server.
      Note: The Microsoft SQL default port number is 1443. During the installation of vRealize Automation, the first Web node task might fail after the vRealize Automation management agent is installed. This is caused by either a database installation failure or a connection timeout.
