Shared Credentials/Configurations

Administration > Other > Shared Credentials/Configuration

Before running Network Discovery or creating tests manually, you should register shared credentials required to provision tests on discovered devices. Each shared credential you create:

• Authenticates running multiple tests on multiple devices.
• Is specific to a department.
• Has additional options, based on its monitor type. For example:
  • SNMP credentials
  • Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
  • Amazon Web Services
• Are validated against the appropriate tests automatically. The mapping is remembered from that point forward.

Adding a Shared Credential

1. Navigate to Administration > Other > Shared Credentials/Configuration.
2. Click the plus icon in the title bar of the Saved Configuration panel.
3. Enter the following:

• Department - Select a department
• Monitor Type - Select a monitor type.
• Additional properties as required for the monitor type.

Editing a Shared Credential

1. Click a row in the Saved Configuration panel.
2. Click Edit in the middle panel.

• The middle panel also lists the devices that use this credential.

Deleting a Shared Credential

Deleting a shared credential/configuration removes it from all the tests that use it. You'll have to apply a new shared credential/configuration of the same monitor type to enable those tests to return data.
