User guide

Following the Warning: section, we have a list of the hosts within the configuration file followed by the total number of

hosts in the configuration. Each host is prefaced with the number in the order it was found in the configuration file (starting

with 0). The Domain, Address, Username, Password, and Files fields are contained in the description:

Field

Description

Domain

This is the Windows domain that the credentials will attempt to login to when the

program is executed. This is stored in the wmi_monitor LCP policy file.

Address

This is the IP address of the host that will attempt to be logged into when the program

is executed. This is stored in the wmi_monitor LCP policy file.

Username

This field indicates if a Username is saved or not. If there are asterisks in the field, the

username is set in the encrypted file. If <Not Set> is shown, then the host does not

have a corresponding encrypted credential saved.

Password

This field indicates if a Password is saved or not. If there are asterisks in the field, the

username is set in the encrypted file. If <Not Set> is shown, then the host does not

have a corresponding encrypted credential saved.

This field indicates the files that are monitored by the WMI monitor on the targeted

host. This is stored in the wmi_monitor LCP policy file.

Selecting 2 allows for adding a new host to the credential directory. When selected, a series of questions will be asked

beginning with the new host address and followed by the username and password to use. Once entered, a list of available

hosts will be shown on the screen followed by a success or failure message. When successful, a reminder will be given to

enter the host’s address, domain, and monitor lines to the wmi_monitor LCP policy file.

Note that when you are entering the Username and Password there is nothing echoed to the screen.

Selecting 3 will allow the user to make changes to the credentials of an existing host. A list of all hosts will be displayed.

Select the host to modify by selecting the number next to the host information. The user is then prompted to enter the

updated username and password to be used with the host.
