I'm rebuilding my environment for VMware 6. I'm using the vRO appliance and initial setup via the web page seems to be have been ok but I have a few questions. (it appears to have been almost the same as 5.5)
So far I have 3 vms: vCenter (windows on domain), PSC (windows on domain) and vRO (appliance)
From the documentation the ldap is deprecated so I'm using SSO but I don't fully understand it (It's magic how I got it working in 5.5 and it was a little bit of a mess so I'm trying to fix things in 6)
Under Authentication > SSO configuration, what is the vRO admin group used for? Where is permissions set/coming from/used for? Should I be selecting the vsphere.local domain or my active directory domain? I tried using my credentials on the test login page and it says I'm not authorized to login to the Orchestrator client but when I try the client it works (except I only see PowerShell, SNMP, SNMP Samples and Workflow documentation workflows) . I also don't see orchestrator in the web client (I assume it's because I still need to do some config via the client?)
I found this thread:
Installing vRO v6.01 but not showing in web client
and when I check the extension manager, I don't see a com.vmware.vco. I suspect I got the dns name wrong when setting up the appliance and maybe I need to put in my own DNS entry (like when deploying the vcenter appliance?)
Am I making any sense? Do I need to delete my appliance and redeploy with DNS entry already in place and using fully qualified name? Is there any cleanup to do in vCenter or the PSC first?
Thanks
