In this guide i will go over one of the Locker feature in vRealize Lifecycle Manager specifically the password management.

As a reminder vRSLCM can manage the following:

Type of Password ChangevRealize Product Name

The first step is to create a new password. We can do so by going to Locker from the welcome screen or the menu on top right

The image shows the ‘Locker’ service option in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager for managing certificates, licenses, and passwords.

Once in Locker, we can check to see where a specific password might be used. In my case i had just deployed most of the vRealize products and i used in the InstallerPassword reference

The image shows a list of passwords in vRSLCM, including InstallerPassword and InstallervCenter, with their respective descriptions and usage status.

Once we clicked on InstallerPassword we can see some details about the password. Click on References to see where the password is used

Password details for ‘installerPassword’: alias, username, description.

Next we can go back a level by clicking on password and click add to add a new password to the inventory

In vRSLCM, under Passwords, click Add to manage passwords.

Complete the required fields and click add

Add Password form with fields for alias, password, confirm, description, username, and buttons.

Now that we have the password created we can go to the Lifecycle Operations service to update the password for the vRealize products. Click on the Menu on the top right and select lifecycle operations
