Problem creating internal VRO endpoint with Aria Automation Pipelines

Products

Issue/Introduction

This issue happens when user is trying to validate Endpoints in vRO

Symptoms:

User will have a problem creating an Orchestrator Endpoint (internal to Aria Automation). The validation of the Endpoint fails with this error message "Unable to connect to vco server. Call failed with error: Request failed with status: 401"

Environment

VMware vRealize Orchestrator 8.11.x

Cause

The basic authentication of your vRealize Orchestrator deployment is deactivated by default. In certain use cases you must activate this authentication by setting the "com.vmware.o11n.sso.basic-authentication.enabled" system property

Resolution

We will have to manually enable the basic authentication following DOC "https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Orchestrator/8.11/com.vmware.vrealize.orchestrator-install-config.doc/GUID-30026BCF-DC1F-471E-A63C-A29E85FBDD41.html"

 

Steps are as follows:

 

1. Log in to the Control Center as root.
2. Select System Properties.
3. Click New.
4. Under Key, enter com.vmware.o11n.sso.basic-authentication.enabled.
5. Under Value, enter true.
6. (Optional) Enter a description for the new system property.
7. Click Add, and wait for the vRealize Orchestrator server to restart.
