PRTG Manual: Managing Device Credentials
Credentials can be managed in the Protocol/Credential Settings dialog.
Launching the Protocol/Credential Settings dialog
The Protocol/Credential settings dialog can be launched from the 'Protocol/Credential Settings' button on the 'Home' tab of the main UVexplorer page.
UVexplorer requires a variety of credentials for use in discovering and managing various device types and device information. The protocol settings dialog contains two main views. On the left is a navigation pane that contains a header for all of the protocol types. On the right is a pane that contains the settings for the protocol/credential selected in the navigation pane.
To add new credentials of any type either use the add '+' button on the credential type header, or right click the pane within that credential type and select 'Add'. A new credential of that type will be created and added to the credential store. The credential settings will then be displayed in the right pane where changes can be made.
To remove a credential you can either right click on the credential and select 'Delete' or press the delete 'X' button to delete the selected credential. The selected credential will be permanently deleted from the credential store.
A credential can be edited by selecting the credential and making changes to the settings displayed in the right credential settings pane. When you have completed your changes select the 'Save' button to persist the changes to the credential store. If you attempt to leave the credential settings dialog or select a new credential without saving changes to the current settings, you will be prompted to save them before continuing. If you did not intend to make changes, or want to cancel your changes, select 'No' when prompted to save your changes.
