Agent > Set Credential

Set a login credential for the Agent to use in Patch Management and the Use Credential script command. The credential should almost always have administrator rights on the machine. The Use Credential script command behaves the same as Impersonate User except the credential can be uniquely assigned to each machine as opposed to using a fixed credential in a script. If a credential is present, then patch management installs all new patches using this credential. Therefore, Set Credential should always be an administrator credential.

Username

Enter the username for the credential. (Typically and administrator account).

Password

Password associated with the username above.

Domain

Domain name to log into. Leave this field blank to log into a local machine account.

Apply

Assign the credential to all checked machine IDs. Machine IDs with assigned credentials display the username and domain in the associated table columns.

Clear

Remove the credential from all checked machine IDs.
