Parameters

Select the API Version you want to use to connect - v31.0 or v36.0. Each version requires different connection parameters.

API v31.0

1. vCloud Director Domain (required) - The hostname of the VMware vCloud Director server.
2. User Name and Password (required) - The user name and password for an account that has the Required Permissions to fetch assets.
   The user name has to be in a specific format as described at:
   vCloud Director API - VMware API Explorer
   You must append either "@system" to the user name or "@orgname". This depends on the role you have set for the user. System administrator users must use "@system" because admin user is not bound to a special organization. org admin or org user must append the organization name.
   For example:
   • superadmin@system
   • orgadmin@acme
   • superadmin@domain.tld@system (email format)
3. Is Admin
   • Select this option if user has admin/system permissions.
   • Clear this option if user does not have admin/system permissions. In this case, the adapter brings VMs into your organization that the user can view or modify.
4. Verify SSL - Select whether to verify the SSL certificate of the server against the CA database inside of Axonius. For more details, see SSL Trust & CA Settings.
5. HTTPS Proxy (optional) - Connect the adapter to a proxy instead of directly connecting it to the domain.

2. API Key - An API Key associated with a user account that has permissions to fetch assets.
3. Tenant Name - Tenant name as supplied by VMware.
4. Client ID - Enter the Client ID.

6. User Name and Password - The user name and password for an account that has the Required Permissions to fetch assets.
   The user name has to be in a specific format as described at:

   For example: User@Tenant (be sure to replace the 'User' with the actual username and 'Tenant' with your actual Tenant).
