The Credentials Library stores VMware authentication data for vCenter and associated VMs in your WhatsUp Gold database. They will be used whenever authentication is needed to connect to and gather data from the vCenter server or VMware host. Configure the following fields to create a VMware credential:

  • Name. Enter a unique name for the credential. This name displays in the Credentials Library.
  • Description. Optional description.
  • Username. User name needed to authenticate to the device.
  • Password. Password associated with the user name.
  • Confirm password. Re-enter the authentication password for confirmation.
