Integrating vROps with vRA 8 using Workspace One Auth Source

Product Version - vRealize Automation 8.x

Why integrate vROps with vRA 8?

vRealize Automation can work with vRealize Operations Manager to perform advanced workload placement, provide deployment health and virtual machine metrics, and display pricing.

So what is the problem?

When configuring the integration, you will input the vROps URL and it will also ask you to input a username and password of the service account you wish to use. This is no problem if the accouint is a locally created account in vROps itself but most enterprises will want to use AD created service accounts which are then imported into vROps via WorkSpace One (vIDM)
