Credentials#

Credentials holds the reusable sign-in details your Connection Managers use to scan CIs agentlessly. Store a credential once and use it for every CI it applies to.

Add a credential#

  1. Open Credentials and add a credential.
  2. Give it a name and say what it's for (for example, Windows service account).
  3. Enter the username and password, and choose the Connection Manager group that will use it.
  4. Save. The credentials list shows where each one is held and which CIs use it.

Use a vault#

To keep secrets in your own vault, select Connect Delinea Secret Server. A credential held there is listed with where it's held, so you can tell vault credentials from those stored in Guardian.

Change or move a credential#

You can edit a credential's details, or move it to another Connection Manager group. Moving it to another group needs the password again.
