Unique Credentials
To use Unique passwords per device, creating a Unique Credential eases
the deployment of device passwords. A Unique credential is a placeholder
that tells the system there are unique individual passwords on each device
associated with the credential. Unique credentials have no passwords stored
with them, but create a different password for each device associated
with them. Unique credentials must be coupled with an update to devices.
The unique feature (when checked), allows the application to create
a
unique placeholder
with
the length designated by you. When
Voyence
Unique Credentials
check box is checked, you must enter a length
of
at least 3
(as the unique
string contains one uppercase, one lowercase, and one numeric entry).

When you actually update a credential on a device and choose the unique
credential that you just created, and also choose to schedule this change,
at the run time, the unique values are generated.
- For Account - UserName and Password
- For Priv Pass - password
- For SNMP v1/v2c - RO and RW
- SNMPv3 - password
These are updated on the device physically. Network Configuration Manager is updated
with the unique values, and these are stored on the device table of the
database. The Unique credential that you defined is associated with the
device, but
does
not
have any of the attribute values (usernames, passwords,
RO, or RW). It is a
marker or placeholder
to convey that this particular device has a
unique
set of credentials
, and the Network Configuration Manager application knows
how to communicate to the device.
When you edit the unique credential, you are only allowed
to change the name and the length of the credential.
