How to Reset VMC on AWS Cloudadmin User Account Password?

The vCenter Single Sign-On administrator is cloudadmin@vmc.local. The VMC Console displays this password when you open the vCenter instance - it's the password that you copy into the vCenter Single Sign-On screen. You can change this password from the vSphere Client. If you do, the password that the VMC Console displays is no longer correct.

If you reset the password for the cloudadmin@vmc.local user and you forget the password, contact VMware Technical Support. You cannot reset this password. 

The password for cloudadmin@vmc.local never expires, but it follows the password policy.

How to Change Cloudadmin User Password:-
1. Open vmc on aws SDDC vCenter > Click on Administration from Menu > Click on Users and Groups Under SSO


 2. Click on Edit

3. Type New Password > Click Ok

vRA 7.5 - No More Goal Navigator

Those who worked with previous vRA version they must have seen "Goal Navigator" to access the options and it guides you through high level goals that you might want to accomplish in VRA. Even these options can be directly accessed through tabs what you can access from Goal Navigator. But It's Removed in vRA 7.5

I believe reason of removing this option is New Simplified UI


vRA 7.5 New UI - No More Home, Requests and Items Tab

If you haven't upgraded your environment to vRA 7.5 yet then you might have heard about new UI of vRA 7.5. Let me share few details about changes in Home, Requests and Items Tab.

1. Home Tab is Removed


2. Requests and Items Tabs are Replaced with Deployments Tab. Now Same Tab you can use to Check Provisioned Items as well as requests status.


To know what are the other new changes you will see in this Release check this blogpost

Unable to Create New Blueprint in vRA 7.5

After recently upgrading my environment from vRA 7.3 to vRA 7.5, i was unable to create new blueprint as blueprint area was blank in Design Tab like the screenshot shared below:-

I was using Internet Explorer 11. I have cross checked in the Support Matrix Guide whether it is supported of not but it is supported version of IE. Later on i tried accessing this vRA Environment from Google Chrome and it worked.
If anyone else also faced the same issue, let me know in the comment box.
