3 Follow the prompts in the installation wizard to choose the installer language, and agree to the end user
patent and license agreements.
4 If the prerequisites check screen shows any problems, cancel the installation, correct the problems, and
restart the installer.
5 Set the password for the vCenter Single Sign-On administrator account.
This is the password for the user administrator@vsphere.local. vsphere.local is a new domain that is
created by vCenter Single Sign-On. After installation, you can log in to vCenter Single Sign-On and in to
vCenter Server as adminstrator@vsphere.local.
By default, the password must have at least eight characters, at least one lowercase character, one
uppercase character, one number, and one special character. See the vSphere Security documentation for
information about changing the password policy. The following characters are not supported in
passwords: non-ASCII characters, semicolon (;), double quotation mark ("), single quotation mark ('),
circumflex (^), and backslash (\).
6 Accept or change the HTTPS port for vCenter Single Sign-On.
7 Select the deployment mode vCenter Single Sign-On for your first vCenter Server.
8 Enter the site name for vCenter Single Sign-On.
Choose your own name for the vCenter Single Sign-On site.
9 Review the installation options and click Install.
vCenter Single Sign-On is installed.
After vCenter Single Sign-On is installed or upgraded, the following default identity sources and users are
available:
localos
All local operating system users. These users can be granted permissions to
vCenter Server. If you are upgrading, those users who already have
permissions keep those permissions.
vsphere.local
Contains all users who have administrator access to the vCenter Single Sign-
On server. Initially, only the user administrator is defined.
What to do next
To deploy vCenter Server with multiple vCenter Single Sign-On instances, install an additional vCenter
Single Sign-On at an existing or new site. See “(Optional) Install an Additional vCenter Single Sign-On Node
at an Existing Site,” on page 80 or “(Optional) Install an Additional vCenter Single Sign-On Node at a New
Site,” on page 81. If your vCenter Server deployment requires only one vCenter Single-Sign-On instance,
install the vSphere Web Client. See “Install or Upgrade the vSphere Web Client,” on page 103.
To add other identity sources, such as a native Active Directory (Integrated Windows Authentication)
domain or an OpenLDAP directory service, see “Add a vCenter Single Sign-On Identity Source,” on
page 87.
(Optional) Install an Additional vCenter Single Sign-On Node at an Existing Site
Create an additional vCenter Single Sign-On node at an existing vCenter Single Sign-On installation. An
additional vCenter Single Sign-On node might be useful if your deployment includes multiple vCenter
Server instances.
