Logon credentials
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.
