After enabling INI authentication for the AdminServer, you must add or update its credentials, whether default or custom, in OpenEdge Management. This configuration is required to establish secure communication between OpenEdge Management and the AdminServer.

If you are adding an AdminServer, you can simply enter the INI credentials during configuration in OpenEdge Management. For information on adding credentials, see Add a remote AdminServer manually or Add an automatically discovered remote AdminServer.

If you are updating the credentials for an existing AdminServer, the corresponding AdminServer appears with an Access Denied status in OpenEdge Management until the new INI credentials are applied because the previous OS-based credentials no longer match. For information on updating the credentials, see Edit a remote AdminServer.

Adding or updating the credentials to match the INI authentication settings ensures successful authentication and establishes the communication between the AdminServer and OpenEdge Management.
