How to add a new credential in OpManager?
OpManager accesses the remote devices using the protocols SNMP, CLI, WMI or VMWare API. Credentials such as password/snmp community, port etc., may differ for different device types. Pre-configuring a set of credentials in OpManager helps applying them to multiple devices at once, saving a lot of manual effort.
- Go to Settings > Discovery > Device Credentials.
- Click on Add Credential and select the required category and credential type.
- Configure the parameters and click on Save.
Further, you can associate the saved credentials to multiple devices available in the OpManager Inventory. To associate credentials,
- Go to Settings > Discovery > Device Credentials.
- Click on Associate and select the required credential from the drop down box.
- Now, select the devices that need to be associated with the chosen credential and move them under the Credential already associated to section by using the arrows.
- Click on Associate to apply the selected credential with the devices.
