How do I Create, Edit and Delete access credentials in ProSphere?

Hi

An access credential is a set of user-specified properties that defines the way ProSphere makes a connection to objects in the network through a management interface. An access credential specifies the protocol and the required credentials for connecting to the management interface.

**************************************************************

Create an access credential

To create new access credentials, follow these steps:

1. Click Discovery in the area navigation bar to navigate to the Discovery area of the ProSphere Console.
2. Click the Access Credentials tab to display the Access Credentials view.
3. Click Create Access Credentials. The Create Access Credentials dialog box appears.
4. In the Create Access Credentials dialog box, select or enter a Type, Name, and Description for the new set of credentials in the Access Credentials area of the dialog box.
5. Enter the required information in the Attributes area of the dialog box. The required information varies depending on the type of the credential you select.
6. Click OK to complete the credentials creation process. The new access credentials appear in the Access Credentials view and can be used with a Discovery Job.
