Approval Policy for XAAS
Hello,
I have a XAAS Blueprint that provisions LXD Linux jails. In the request form I have various parameters like CPU / RAM / DISK and I would like to pass them for approval/modification to the approver defined in a Approval. Policy
It's easy to pass form values to Approval Polices for actions performed on those jails, since I can select those specific actions from the "Select an approval policy type" but I don't have idea how to specify the form parameters for a "Service Catalog - Catalog Item Request - XaaS Blueprint" Approval policy, since it has no properties and no custom properties.

Advice for how to reverse engineer existing deployment workflows/blueprints
Hi guys relatively new into a site with a fully fledged deployment of vRA 6. My previous experience is relatively basic deployment and designs for vRA 7
Anyway in the site everyone that's here says basically vRA is the box in the corner we don't kick as it works but nobody really understands it or how it works. It was implemented by PSO a number of years ago and i also keep hearing it's very bespoke and seems to follow no online guidelines of how it should be deployed...
So what i've got is a black box with no documentation, i need to reverse engineer the existing catalog and blueprints to figure out how the deployments work with a view to creating new ones. So really i'm looking for some advice on where to start.
- the catalog is full of service blueprints
- if i look at the service blueprints, i cannot see what workflow they call. All i can see is the details, and the form field designer, no provisioning (provisioned resource)
- there are also a number of blueprints but i'm not entirely sure if at all how the blueprints and service blueprints are linked
- Catalog management
- there are a number of catalog items (both retired and published) but i cannot see the link between published and the actual service catalog items
- also the catalog items source is either iaas-service or Advanced Designer Server not sure of the difference
Sorry for the really crappy vague request, but just hoping for some guidance on where to start unpicking this mess
all help much appreciated

Integration of Shibboleth into vRA
Hello all,
does anyone have experience with SAML-based authentication in the vRealize suite?
More specifically, we intend to add our Shibboleth Identity Provider in vRA so that we can provide federated access to our application.
Did someone has already tried this constellation?
So far, I have tried to set up Shibboleth directly as a third party IdP in vRA - that did not work.
The log files also gave not much information.
thanks in advance

Installing vRA with vSLCM
Hi, I'm trying to install just vRA 7.4.0 using the Suite Lifecycle Manager and it is erroring out right at the end when it gets to Creating AD on vIDM.
I have a preconfigured vIDM server using an external MS SQL server. I'm able to login to vSLCM from vIDM just fine. Not sure why it needs to create anything, it has already been configured.
The other problem is I'm using AD with IWA and the error is complaining about LDAP being the wrong directory type. I didn't configure LDAP anywhere so I don't know where it is even getting this from. It also says the host is the vRA server, but it should be using the separate vIDM server. Any help would be appreciated, I've started the whole thing over a couple times and it keeps stopping there.
Here is the error:
com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.common.exception.LcmException: Failed to create AD over LDAP, on vIDMServer{host=vra_server.fakedomain.corp.com, tenant=vsphere.local}: {"errors":[{"code":"directory.config.invalidType","message":"Invalid directory type.","parameters":{}}]}

How to get Deployment Description on Custom Form in VRA 7.4
Hello fellow vRAers,
Is there a custom property or hidden property that I can use to add the Deployment "Description" or "Reason for request" fields to the new Custom Form in vRA 7.4?
Before the custom form feature was introduced, standard blueprint forms show the deployment description and reason for request field automatically, without having to specify a property:
The new custom form feature does not have either the description or request for properties as available to add to the canvas:
The only custom properties for deployments I can find are the following from the DOCs https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Automation/7.4/vrealize-automation-74-custom-properties.pdf:
_debug_deployment
_deploymentName
_number_of_instances
Looking at the vRA payload passed onto vRO, I can see a __request_reason property, but no deployment description property that I can see. Also, I know sometimes the hidden __ properties are read only, so I am not sure if i can even set the reason for request.
Does anyone know of a way I can get the Deployment Description and Reason for Request fields to show up on a custom form in vRA 7.4?
Just to clarify, the Machine properties has it's own description field which can be set using the "notes" property, but that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for the Deployment description.

[vRO] Workflow collisions on powershell host
Hello All,
Having random issues with workflows failing, related to our powershell host via vRA event subscription orchestrator tasks that create MS DNS entries using dnscmd .
This issue happens consistently when launching 3 or more catalog item requests simultaneously in vRA.
We are using the Add DNS Record workflow from PSCoE (on solution exchange), after switching over from using run script in guest, which was overly complex for such a simple task, and also was experiencing the same issue as above.
Turned on vmtools logging, switched powershell hosts, the symptoms are consistent.
It looks like there are collisions/contention issues with the powershell script copy to the host before execution.
We tried adding random timers to the workflow, which only reduces the problem but doesn't eliminate them altogether.
Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before?
Any feedback or alternative methods would be welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks and Cheers...

Login to the embedded vRealize Orchestrator on vRLCM appliance
Anyone know how to login to the embedded vRealize Orchestrator - TCP 8281 (Embedded for Content Management) on the vRLCM appliance? Trying to troubleshoot the Content Pipeline workflow
I already opened port 8281 and I get a vRO login prompt; but i dont know what user/creds to use. I tried the default vRLCM user admin@localhost but that doesnt work
Enter the following on vRLCM appliance:

sed -i '$a\iptables -I FORWARD -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8281 -j ACCEPT' /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
systemctl restart iptables
