In a NATmapped network environment, your best practice is to install the Agent on the vApp template

machines. You must manually install the Agent with the HTTP mode enabled, but you must not collect

data from these template machines. Collecting from the template machines generates machine-specific

information that will later cause the virtual machines created from the template to run incomplete

collections.

If you discovered NAT mapped vApp virtual machines that do not have the Agent preinstalled on the

templates from which they were created, you must manually install the Agent. The Agent must be

installed with the HTTP protocol enabled. See "Manually Install the VCM Windows Agent" on page 84.

Generate vCloud Director Collection Credentials

To collect vCloud Director data, you must generate encrypted user credentials that the collection filters use

to access vCloud Director.

You generate encrypted strings of the user name and the password to use when configuring the Windows

Custom Information filter for the vCloud Director collection filter. You create the credentials for the VCM

Collector. If you use one Collector to manage all your vCloud Director instances, you create the encrypted

user credentials once. If you have two Collectors managing different vCloud Director instances, you create

credentials on each managing Collector and use those credentials on the vCloud Director instances from

which you are collecting data.

Prerequisites

Determine whether you are collecting vCloud Director data at the system (Provider) level or the

organization level and have the appropriate vCloud Director user name and password available. If you

use a system login, data is collected for all organizations. If you use an organization login, only data for

that organization is collected.

Ensure that you have the user name and password for the user that runs the Collector service. You can

Procedure

1. Log in to the VCM server as the user that runs the Collector service.

2. Open a PowerShell Console.

3. Run the $sspw = Read-Host "Enter data to encrypt" -AsSecureString command.

4. At the Enter data to encrypt prompt, type the user login that you are encrypting.

For example, [login_name]@system or [login_name]@[org].

5. Run the ConvertFrom-SecureString -SecureString $sspw command.

Powershell generates the encrypted string.

6. Copy the string to a text editor and remove the carriage returns.

7. Keep or save the encrypted user name in a text file.

8. In the PowerShell Console, run the $sspw = Read-Host "Enter data to encrypt" -

AsSecureString command.

9. At the Enter data to encrypt prompt, type the password for the user login.

10. Copy the string to a text editor and remove the carriage returns.

11. Save the encrypted password in a text file for later use.
