If you followed my previous posts Deploying the vRealize suite using VCF 4.0 and vRealize Lifeycycle Manager (vRSLCM) enable product dowloads you should now have vRA and vIDM already downloaded.

Because im running on a deployment from VCF i can see that the datacenter was already provioned for me under under Home -> Lifecycle Operations -> Datacenters

The screenshot shows a datacenter named “SDDC-Datacenter” with 1 vCenter listed, alongside options to add a vCenter or import data.

However it seems like my Environment is not completely configured. In order to configure we can go to Home -> Lifecycle Operations -> Create Environment

The screenshot shows the “Install Identity Manager” step in vRealize Lifecycle Manager, with fields for environment name, admin email, default password, and datacenter selection.

Add a new password to the vault that will be used by our installation wizards. We can add a password by clicking on the + sign next to the Default Password

Configuration screen for adding a default password in vIDM setup wizard.

Enter the password details and click add
