The deployment is identical to the Identity appliance. Once more you need root password, hostname, IP, DNS, Gateway and Netmask.
Once deployed, power up the appliance
Now again open your browser and browse to the vCAC appliance for the initial configuration
https://<IP of vCAC appliance>:5480
Login using root and the password you have created when deploying the appliance
Make sure you again configure time zone and NTP
Now configure the host name
Click Resolve Host Name and make sure the resolved host name is in lower case. If it isn’t, change it and make sure your DNS entries reflect that, including the PTR record.
Hit Save Settings
Next thing is again the SSL certificate. I am using self-signed certificates in my lab, but here you can upload a signed certificate (PEM)
Now head over to the SSO settings
Make sure you enter here the Identity Appliance details you configured earlier and accepts its SSL certificate
It will take a few minutes for the SSO configuration to finish
I am using the internal database, but here you can set an external PostgreSQL database if you wish (for High Availability for example)
Enter a valid license key
You can now confirm that the appliance has been setup correctly by browsing to
https://<fqdn / IP of vcac appliance>/shell-ui-app/
You will need to accept two certificates (vcac and sso)
You should be able to login using the SSO login details configured on the identity appliance
([email protected] + SSO password)
