Use server authentications to store the login information
for sets of servers.
About this task
Assign each server a server authentication so that
the Management Console can log in to the server with appropriate privileges.
Server authentications separate the login information from the server
records so that you can apply the same login information to more than
one server.
To create a server authentication:
Procedure
- In the left panel of Build Forge, click .
The build system displays the list
of existing server authentications at the top of the main content
panel, and a blank Server Auth Details panel at the bottom.
Tip: When you select a server authentication, the system populates
the Server Auth Details panel with the selected server's authentication
information. To clear the panel so that you can create a new authentication,
click Add Server Authentication.
- In Name, type an authentication
name, a logical name to identify the server authentication in the
system.
- In Login, specify the server login
name.
Note: If the login name is from a
domain user, include the domain in this field. For example, type:
MYDOMAIN/joeuser.
- In Password, type the password.
- In Verified, retype the password.
- Click Save Server Authentication.
The system stores a new server authentication with the name that you
select.
Results
The build system stores a new server authentication with the
name that you select.
