Setup

After the ESC-Scheduler has been installed, it needs to be configured so it can access the vRA API of your specific ESC Tenant.

vRA API Settings

After installation, login and go to Settings -> vRA API Settings.

Fill in the vRA URL (including https://), your tenant name and then select one of the two methods to authenticate.

• Option 1: Username & Password
• Option 2: OAuth 2.0

If you decide to use OAuth 2.0, you will need to set up an OAuth Client in vRA to receive your OAuth Client ID and OAuth Client Secret for the ESC Scheduler. To set up an OAuth Client, contact your Tenant Admin.

The redirect URI for the OAuth Client has to be set to https://<vra-fqdn>/settings/api/oauth-redirect.

After you authenticated with vRA, your login credentials are saved in the ESC Scheduler and will be automatically refreshed if needed.

If everything worked as expected, you should see VMs showing up the in VM Overview page and you can now start to schedule VMs for start/stop.
