Parameters

1. vCloud Director Domain (required) - The hostname of the VMware vCloud Director server.

3. 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

• For version 31.0 - 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)

• For version 36.0 - You must append "@Tenant" to the username.
  For example: User@Tenant (be sure to replace the 'User' with the actual username and 'Tenant' with your actual Tenant).

4. Is Admin (Relevant for API version v31.0 only) -

   • 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.
