Creating credential profile

About this task

When creating a credential profile, consider the following points:
  • During auto discovery, if a default credential profile is not available for iDRAC, and then the default iDRAC credentials is used. The default iDRAC user name is root, and password is calvin.
  • To get information about the modular systems, the modular server is accessed with default CMC profile. The default CMC profile user name is root and password is calvin.
  • (Only for SCVMM users) When a device type credential profile is created, an associated RunAsAccount is created in SCVMM to manage the device, and the name of the RunAsAccount is Dell_CredentialProfileName.
  • Ensure that you do not edit, or delete the RunAsAccount in SCVMM.

Steps

  1. Click Create.

    The Credential Profile page is displayed.
  2. In Credential Type, select the credential profile type that you want to use.

  3. Provide a profile name and description.

    NOTE: Default Profile for option is applicable only for a Device type credential profile.

  4. In Credentials, provide the user name and password.

    • If you are creating a Device Credential Profile, select to make this profile as the default profile to log in to iDRAC or CMC by selecting the Default Profile for option. Select None, if you choose not to set the profile as a default profile.

    • If you are creating a Windows Credential Profile, provide the domain details in Domain.

      NOTE: Provide the domain name with Top Level Domain (TLD) details while creating the credential profile for console enrollment.

      For example, if the domain name is mydomain, and the TLD is com, provide the domain name in credential profile as: mydomain.com.

    • If you are creating a Proxy Server Credentials, provide the proxy server URL http://hostname:port or http://IPaddress:port format in Proxy Server URL.

  5. To create the profile, click Finish.
