Abstract: Commands that are input through a cloud platform are delivered to a management appliance of a software-defined data center (SDDC). A number of tokens are issued in the process of delivering the commands from the cloud platform to the management appliance. A method of issuing a command to the management appliance to modify an inventory of virtual objects deployed in the SDDC, includes: retrieving a message generated by a cloud service, the message including a task to modify the inventory of virtual objects deployed in the SDDC, a first token identifying a user who requested the task, and a second token containing information about the management appliance and a role assigned to the user; exchanging the first and second tokens with the management appliance for an authentication token for accessing the management appliance; and transmitting the command to the management appliance along with the authentication token.
