About credential prole

Credential proles simplify the use and management of user credentials by authenticating the role-based capabilities of the user. Each

credential prole contains a user name and password for a single user account. A credential prole authenticates a user’s role-based

capabilities. The OMIMSSC uses credential proles to connect to the managed systems’ iDRAC, CMC/OME-M or Network switches.

You can create the following credential prole:

• Windows Credential Prole—This prole is used for enrollment of the console with the OMIMSSC.

• Device Credential Prole—This prole consists of the credentials, SNMP community string, https port number and SNMP port number

elds which are used to access an iDRAC console, or Chassis Management Controller/OpenManage Enterprise Modular (CMC/OME-

M) console, or a network switch management console.

NOTE: A device credential prole is used for discovery of a server, or a modular systems, or a network

switch.
