Define Credentials Page

Enables you to select and configure credentials for protocols that are used for discovery jobs.

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Important information

Configure credentials depending on what must be discovered and which protocols are supported on your site's network.
Credentials for protocols that were configured during Data Flow Probe setup are displayed on this page. For more information, see the section describing setting up the Data Flow Probe in the HPE Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide.
To see additional fields that are available for protocols, and for more information about field definitions for the Protocol Parameters dialog box, see Supported Protocols.
General information about the activity is available in Infrastructure Discovery Activity.

Wizard map

The Infrastructure Discovery Activity contains:

Credentials pane

UI Element	Description
	Create New Connection Details. Opens the Protocol Parameters dialog box, enabling you to define credentials for the selected protocol. To determine which protocols require credentials for this activity, go to Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Zone-Based Discovery tab > Activity Jobs tab. Ensure that you create credentials for all of the protocols in the Protocol pane for the activity.
	Remove Connection Details. Removes the selected credential.
	Edit Connection Details. Opens the Protocol Parameters dialog box, enabling you to edit the credentials for the selected protocol.
	Move Entry Up/Move Entry Down. Enables you to move credentials up or down, enabling you to set the order in which selected credentials are used for the selected protocol. Note Moving credentials affects the value in the Index column.
	Select All. Selects all protocols or selects all credentials for a selected protocol.

Selected	Enables you to select credentials to use for the activity.
Index	Indicates the order in which the system selects credential instances to make a connection attempt. The lower the index, the higher the priority.
Scope	Indicates the network scope of the Data Flow Probe that uses the selected credential. This value is configured in the Protocol Parameter dialog box, in the Network Scope field. For more information, see the section describing the Protocol Parameter dialog box in the HPE Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide.
User Name	The description of the credential that is configured in the Protocol Parameters dialog box.
User Label	The description of the credential that is configured in the Protocol Parameters dialog box.
