 Creating Login Objects

Login objects serve to store login data for hosts.

Procedure

  1. Click the button  in the toolbar and a window opens which lists all the available object types. Select type "Login" (LOGIN).
  2. Assign a suitable name and open the Login object. Then click the Login tab.
  3. Enter the login data to be used by the agents to log on to the host. Login data can be specified for one particular agent or for all agents of a particular platform. If you select an agent name in the first column, the second column specifying the platform is automatically completed. If you select the wildcard character *, the platform must be manually specified in the second column. The specification of login data is required in any case.
  4. For reasons of security, Automic recommends splitting your login data to several Login objects and to assign the relevant authorizations accordingly. The availability of different Login objects also helps to keep a clear overview.
  5. Login objects are system objects.

 

Various other settings are available for Login objects. Details are provided in the documentation about the individual tabs.
