Changing Account Names Using the Credential Manager

Changing Account Names Using the
Credential Manager

In general, if you want to change an account name, it is recommended that you create a new credential, and delete the old one. However, in the case where you want to replace the credentials in use in a number of places in Enterprise Reporter, the Credential Manager enables you to make a single change and have it be applied across your deployment. For example, if you are provided a new service credential to replace a credential used for a dozen nodes in your environment, you can change the account name on the credential.

If you modify credentials that are used by a discovery node, the node service must be restarted before the changes take effect. Enterprise Reporter will attempt to restart the node; however, if the restart fails, you may need to manually start the service on the computer hosting the node. If there are jobs currently running on the node, they will be canceled. To prevent this, either change the credentials during a down time, or cancel the discoveries yourself and restart them once the change takes effect.

To change the account
1
On the System | Configuration page, click Manage credentials.
It is recommended that you make these changes while no discoveries are running or waiting to be run before changing the account
2
Select the account, and click Edit.
3
Modify the account and click OK.
A progress dialog box appears.
 
* 
NOTE: The Credential Manager displays a Last Authenticated On date, which indicates when the credential was authenticated through the Microsoft authentication process as a multi-factor authenticated credential. If there is no date, then the credential was not authenticated.
4
Verify that your changes were processed. If any errors occur, you will need to troubleshoot the issue and manually make any changes.
When changing the password on an Office 365 Azure account, any Enterprise Reporter tenant applications using that account must also be reconfigured. For more information, see To reconfigure application for a tenant .

Organizing Reports

My Reports can be organized by creating report categories, and if you are a reporting administrator, you can organize Published Reports. You can then copy reports between containers and categories, or move reports within containers.

Moving Reports

You can move reports from one category to another within a container.

If necessary, expand the container treeview so the destination category is visible.

In the treeview, select the report to move.
