Credential Library
About the Credential Library
Access credentials must be specied when connecting to remote Windows computers via WMI. These credentials must
be for a user with sufcient access permissions for administering the computer and accessing WMI. The credentials
consist of a Username and Password.
!Note: If the user is a member of a dierent domain than that of the computer, then the username can be specied in the
format domain\username.
NaViSet Administrator has a Credential Library feature for managing credentials and making it easier to store and apply
credentials for accessing multiple computers. This saves having to enter the same credentials again each time a new
computer is added, or needing to individually update each computer’s credentials if the administrator’s password or
username is changed. The passwords entered are encrypted and stored in the current database le.
Using the Credential Library
The Credential Library can be accessed from:
1. The Devices menu.
2. The Credential Library button on the toolbar.
3. The Network tab of a Windows computer device.
4. When using Add Single Device with a Windows Computer on LAN (WMI) device type.
5. When adding multiple Windows Computers (WMI) in Add Multiple Devices.
!Note: Credentials are not used for local connections (connections to the same computer that is running the NaViSet
Administrator application). Credentials can be entered for a local connection, however since they aren’t used, local
connections should not be used to verify administrator credentials.
