Use this window to enter authentication credentials for connecting
to a process agent.
Complete this window as follows:
- Username
- Type the user name that is used to log into the process agent.
- On UNIX, any user that needs access to the process agent must be a member
of a UNIX user group that you identify as an administration group for this
purpose. On Windows, the user must be a valid user with a local or domain
account.
- Password
- Type the password that is used to log into the process agent.
- Always use for this connection
- Select this check box to indicate that the specified user name and password
should be saved for automatic reuse on subsequent connection attempts to this
process agent. These settings last for the length of the application session.
- Use as default
- Select this check box if you want the values specified for the user name
and password to be automatically filled in the next time this window is displayed. These
settings last for the length of the application session.
Note: If you select both check boxes, the Always
use for this connection setting takes precedence.
Verifying your
authentication credentials
After specifying your authentication
details, you can start or cancel the connection attempt by clicking the relevant
button as follows:
- OK
- Click this button to verify the credentials for connection, and close
the window. The Service/Process Details pane opens. This
pane contains information about the processes and services that are configured
for the selected process agent.
- Cancel
- Click this button to close the Process Agent Security window
without attempting to connect to the process agent. You return to the Process
Agent Report window.
