Automating vCAC Tenant Creation with vCO: Part 3 Install the vCAC plugin for vCO

In this series we will see how to automate the creation of a tenant in vCAC using vCO. There are multiple tasks to provision a tenant in vCAC, so even though it is an automation product itself, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t look at automating parts of it too. In part 3 we look at installing the vCAC plugin for vCO

Navigate to the Configuration webpage, in my case https://localhost:8283/

and then Plugins

Enter credentials of a member of the vCO admins group. (If you haven’t set this up you might want to add an AD connection on the Authentication page)

and select the downloaded plugin, then Upload and install

Accept the License Agreement

Hopefully you get a nice green success

If so, you’ll get a note further down that you need to restart the vCO Server service

Get-Service VMwareOrchestrator | Restart-Service

After the restart, all is now OK

The built-in vCAC workflows are now available in the vCO client

3) Configure the plugin Navigate to Configuration and run the Add a vCAC host workflow

Fill out the details of the default vCAC tenant

…and now we have a vCAC server to work with
