The installation requires access to an Oracle database server that is configured
to meet specific requirements to support Request Manager.
Request Manager populates its users by accessing the same Microsoft Active
Directory domain that is used by vCloud Director. In a default install, Request
Manager's Active Directory server should be located within the same domain
as vCloud Director's. Active Directory integration requires there is an existing
single group or organization unit within the directory to which every user
belongs. For example, Domain Users.
VMware vCloud Director must be installed (on another server within the
domain) before Request Manager can be configured. An account with vCloud
system administrator privileges must be pre-configured for Request Manager
to use. Request Manager cannot use an account created for a specific vCloud
organization.
Request Manager uses an assigned email account on a email server. It connects
to the email server to send emails using SMTP and retrieves emails sent to it
using POP3 or IMAP.
