Credentials that have been added to the appliance's Credentials Management page are available for selection on drop-down lists in the Inventory (Discovery, Provisioning, and Agentless device management), Distribution (Managed Installations, File Synchronizations, and Replication), and Scripting (Configuration Policies and Security Policies) sections.
In addition, credentials that are updated on the Credentials Management page are automatically updated wherever they are used in the various appliance components. You do not need to independently update each item that uses the credentials.
However, the credentials you add to the appliance must match the credentials on the target systems. If you change the credentials on target systems, you must change them on the appliance's Credentials Management page as well.
NOTE: The Credentials Management drop-down list is not available on LDAP configuration pages, and the feature is not used to manage user credentials for accessing the appliance Administrator Console or User Console, which use single sign on and LDAP authentication. See About user accounts and user authentication. |
To streamline the management of Secret Key credentials used in Inventory, Distribution, and Scripting, add those credentials to the Credentials Management page. Secret Key credentials can be created for devices managed using the KACE Cloud Mobile Device Manager.
