2.5 Configuring Windows-RT Credentials in Security Manager

The domain, name, and password of the account to be associated with the Windows-RT service is stored in AppManager Security Manager. AppManager uses these credentials to unlock or log in to a computer left in a locked state. AppManager Security Manager stores the information on a per-agent basis. AppManager raises an event if no Security Manager entry is found for an agent.

You must complete this step before running the Discovery_WinRT7 Knowledge Script.

On the Custom tab in Security Manager, complete the following fields:

Required field. Encrypts the user name and password in Security Manager. This option must be selected.

NOTE:

  • When you change the credentials in the Security Manager, the new credentials are not synced automatically. As a result, run a new job on the agent so that the new credentials are synced to the Agent.

  • You can configure the CacheCredentials field in Win-RT config file to cache the Security Manager credentials or not. If you set the value of this field to True, the Win-RT service caches the Security Manager credentials and this cached credentials are used to log in to Windows every time the agent machine gets locked. If the value is set to False, the Win-RT service picks up the credentials from Security Manager every time a script is executed. The credentials are used for the Win-RT auto logon feature.
