Global - Credentials Manager Overview
Credentials are created by the System Administrator in the Credentials
section of System Administration. Credentials are initially associated
with devices during Auto Discovery. Credential associations can be reset
for one or more devices using the right-click menu, or for a single device
within Device Properties.
Unique credentials can be assigned for both the device management and
cut-through mechanism. Built in
prompt
and
Account credentials are available
for cut-through.
Additional internal auditing enhancements are now available allowing
a System Administrator more insight into who is accessing devices, and
what tasks are being completed within the system.
As the System Administrator, you now have a method of dynamically controlling
the credentials used for any device operation, as well as being offered
the flexibility to deal with special and exception scenarios to manage
certain devices.
As a System Administrator, you can now determine if credentials are
to be governed by Global Credential Configuration settings, or allow Credential
Configurations at the Network level to override the Global Configuration
settings.
Now, shared credentials to all network devices can be overridden at
the time of actual execution, whether the operation is scheduled or non-scheduled.
