Some type of checks (e.g., IMAP, POP3) may require alternative
logon credentials to the ones used to log on to the target computer.
When applicable you will be asked to confirm or specify alternative
logon credentials to be used for that check.
Screenshot 17 - Logon Credentials dialog
As an example, the IMAP Mailserver check uses logon credentials to
connect to the mailserver and check its availability. In addition, this
check also requires alternative credentials to physically log on to
target a mailbox (i.e., perform a mailbox authentication check) in order
to count the number of emails in a specific folder within this mailbox.
By default, logon credentials parameters are inherited from the parent
folder. To specify alternative credentials (e.g., for mailbox access),
unselect the option ‘Inherit username and password from parent
folder’ option and configure accordingly. Click on ‘Next’ to continue.
Non computer specific checks
Some type of checks (e.g., http/https) are not computer-specific. While
the web server may be running on a computer in your domain, when
querying a website, you will not specify the target computer but the
domain to query. When this is the case, you will be asked to select a
folder under which to put the newly created checks.
