About server authentications

Use server authentications to associate login credentials to a server.

A server authentication stores a login name and password as a single named object that you can associate with one or several servers. Use the Server Authentication page to create and edit server authentications.

You can use the same credentials for many servers, and update the credentials globally by managing a set of server authentications.
