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.
OMIMSSC uses credential proles to connect to the managed systems’ iDRAC. Also, you can use credential proles to access the FTP site,
resources available in Windows shares, and to work with dierent features of iDRAC.
You can create four types of credential proles:
• Device Credential Prole—used to log in to iDRAC or CMC. Also, you can use this prole to discover a server, resolve synchronization
issues, and deploy operating system. This prole is specic to a console. You can use and manage this prole only in a console where it
is created.
• Windows Credential Prole—used for accessing share folders in Windows operating system
• FTP Credential Prole—used for accessing an FTP site
• Proxy Server Credentials—used for providing proxy credentials for accessing any FTP sites for updates.
NOTE
: All proles other than device prole are shared resources. You can use and manage these proles from any of the
enrolled consoles.
Predened credential prole

having User Name, and Password as anonymous. Use this prole to access ftp.dell.com
Creating credential prole
About this task
When creating a credential prole, consider the following points:
• During auto discovery, if a default credential prole is not available for iDRAC, and then the default iDRAC credentials is used. The
default iDRAC user name is root, and password is calvin.
• To get information about the modular systems, the modular server is accessed with default CMC prole. The default CMC prole user
name is root and password is calvin.
• (Only for SCVMM users) When a device type credential prole is created, an associated RunAsAccount is created in SCVMM to
manage the device, and the name of the RunAsAccount is Dell_CredentialProfileName.
• Ensure that you do not edit, or delete the RunAsAccount in SCVMM.
