When a Configuration Management script runs, it executes against a particular device. The script uses the device's SSH or Telnet credentials to login to the device. Sometimes it is necessary for a script to directly access the protocol settings being used in a set of credentials. The protocol settings can be accessed through the variables listed in the following table.

Note: The values of these variables are read-only and cannot be modified by scripts, though scripts are free to reference their values.

Name

Description

Example

Settings.UserName
