Using Device Properties - Credentials
The Credentials dialog displays SNMP, Windows, ADO, Telnet, SSH, and VMware
credentials information for the current device.
In the Device Dashboard Map View, devices that are SNMP-manageable devices appear on
the map view with an icon with a white star in the top right corner.
Credentials
SNMP v1/v2/v3. Select the SNMP credentials to connect to this device. If the Identify
devices via SNMP option was selected during discovery (or if an SNMP discovery was
performed) the correct SNMP credential was used during the discovery process, and if
the device is an SNMP manageable device, then the correct credential is selected
automatically. If any of these conditions are not met, None is selected.
Windows. Select the Windows credential to connect to this device. Click browse (...)
to browse the Credentials Library.
ADO. Select the ADO credentials for database connection string information to be
used when a database connection is required for WhatsUp Gold database monitors.
Telnet. If you use WhatsConfigured, Telnet credentials may be used to connect and
run command-line interface (CLI) commands with WhatsConfigured tasks.
SSH. Select SSH credentials to connect with remote devices that WhatsUp Gold
monitors with SSH monitors. Also, if you use WhatsConfigured, SSH credentials may
be used to connect and run command-line interface (CLI) commands with
WhatsConfigured tasks. WhatsConfigured uses SSH as default credentials, then will
attempt to use Telnet credentials when SSH credentials are not available.
VMware. Select the VMware credentials to be used when connecting to a VMware
host or vCenter server.
Edit. Click to open the Select Credentials dialog, then select the credential from the
