Add Credential

The Add Credential dialog box lets you create a credential used by actions and tasks that require authentication to access a particular resource on a network share or an URL.

ZENworks features like Third-party imaging, Intel AMT provisioning, Subscriptions download, and actions such as Copy Directory uses credentials that are stored in the credential vault.

Fill in the fields:

Credential Name

Specify the name of the credential. When an action or task that requires authentication is executed, ZENworks uses this name to access the credential vault to obtain the resource’s credentials.

Description

Provide an optional description of the credential.

Login Name

Specify the login name for the resource. For example, to access a resource on a network that requires authentication do one of the following:

  • For Basic Authentication: Specify the username.

  • For Domain Authentication: Specify the domain\username.

  • For eDirectory Authentication: Specify the Fully Qualified Distinguished Name in the following format:

    .username.ou.o

    For example: .jsmith.provo.novell

    However, the format cn=jsmith,ou=provo,o=novell is not supported.

Password

Specify the password for the resource’s login name that you specified in the Login Name field.

Reenter Password

Re-enter the password for the resource’s login name.
