Creating and Modifying a Custom Provider Configuration

To add a Custom Provider:

1. In the RAS Console, navigate to Farm > Site > Providers.

2. On the Providers tab, click Tasks > Add > Custom Provider

3. Provide a Name and Description for the Custom Provider. In this example, we use Proxmox as the example platform.

4. Optionally, provide credentials for communication with the Connection Broker, and provide credentials for deploying the Guest Agent. This is similar to how other providers are created.

5. Note that Check credentials does not work until the Provider connection details and variables are first configured. You can optionally go back to this section to perform the check credentials.

6. Click Next.

7. Provide the command, command arguments, and working directory of your custom provider code

   1. Example values: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe -NoProfile -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\CPF_Scripts\Parallels-RAS-CPF-Basic.ps1

      C:\CPF_Scripts

8. Click Next.

9. Customize the variables and values to be passed to the custom provider code. The information provided here depends on how the custom provider code is implemented.

10. Additional variables can be added as required. For example, if you introduce various logging levels in the custom code, you can customize the log level here to pass to the script.

11. Use the plus sign to add new variables, which can be either regular or secure.

12. Click Next.

13. Verify the details and confirm that the status is verified and valid

14. Click Next.

15. Confirm the details provided in the summary

16. Click Finish and Apply the configuration.

17. Confirm that the provider’s status is OK.
