Credential profiles

Credential profiles simplify the use and management of user credentials. The appliance uses credential profiles to connect to the managed systems’ iDRAC; access resources available in Windows Shares or on FTP or HTTP site when working with different features of iDRAC.

NOTE: Once you upgrade to DLCI for SCVMM version 1.1, all the existing credential profiles are classified as device type credential profiles. Also, a credential profile created and made as default profile in the earlier version is classified as device type credential profile.

  • You cannot modify the type of a credential profile after it is created.
