Credential management

  • Account
    Account user password can be changed using "Update Credential".
    Steps for Account Credential update
    • In Device->Properties->Communication Tab, check if proper account credential is assigned.
    • Perform test credential to check if the account credential assigned is valid. Ex: admin and admin@123.
    • Create a different user with new password in NCM. Ex: test and test@123 in NCM.
    • In update credential, select new account and schedule the job. ( "save only" option should NOT be selected.)
    • If job is successful, try logging into SEL device using new credential.
    • Lastly, from NCM GUI, old credential should be selected using "save only" option in Update Credential.
  • SNMP
