+
+Introduction
+============
+
+The vcenter_rest modules need to be authenticated. There are two different
+
+Environment variables
+=====================
+
+.. note::
+    This solution requires that you call the modules from the local machine.
+
+You need to export some environment variables in your shell before you call the modules.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    $ export VMWARE_HOST=vcenter.test
+    $ export VMWARE_USER=myvcenter-user
+    $ export VMWARE_password=mypassword
+    $ ansible-playbook my-playbook.yaml
+
+Module parameters
+=================
+
+All the vcenter_rest modules accept the following arguments:
+
+- ``vcenter_hostname``
+- ``vcenter_username``
+- ``vcenter_password``
+
+
+Ignore SSL certificate error
+============================
+
+It's common to run a test environment without a proper SSL certificate configuration.
+
+To ignore the SSL error, you can use the ``vcenter_validate_certs: no`` argument or
+``export VMWARE_VALIDATE_CERTS=no`` to set the environment variable.
