The Credentials resource allows you to track the following information for authentication credentials:
Name: Specify a name for the Credentials resource that is unique to your transformation project. The name must begin with a letter or number. It can contain only letters, numbers, and the following special characters: space, hyphen, underscore, apostrophe, percent, ampersand, comma, and period.
Organization: Select the parent organization for the project.
Project: Select the parent project for the credential.
Description: (Optional) Specify a brief description of the credential. This text appears by default in the Credentials list.
Username: Specify the logon user name of a domain administrator or local administrator to use for communications with the workload.
Provide the user name exactly as it is expected by the intended workload operating system or authentication system:
Windows: Case insensitive. Use local or domain administrator credentials. For example:
For domain member machines: CORPDOM\username
For workgroup member machines: WORKGROUP\username
For a local user account: username
Linux: Case sensitive. Use root or a root-level user name for the workload that has been properly configured to use sudo. See KB Article 7920711.
Password: Specify the password for the user name.
Confirm Password: Re-type the password.
Credentials resources facilitate authentication for the associated components. The passwords are stored securely in the PlateSpin Transformation Manager database. Passwords are obscured in the interface.
NOTE:Credentials resource settings are not integrated with your directory password management system. If the password changes in your network environment or for accounts in cloud provider locations, you must manually update the password stored for the resource.
