Manage Named Credentials

Use the Credential Manager screen to add/delete credentials. You must assign groups to each of the credentials. The users in those groups will be able to access the credentials from various InTouch components such as WindowMaker, WindowViewer, and Alarm utilities.

To add a credential

1. In the Named credentials section of the the Credential Manager, do the following:

   1. Click Add (+).

      A new row is added in the Named Credentials grid.

   2. In the Name column, enter the name of the credential.

   3. In the Type column, select the type of credentials from the drop-down list.

      • Username and password: Allows you to assign SQL Server accounts to the credentials.

      • Domain username and password: Allows you to assign Windows accounts to the credentials.

      • Secret: Allows a user to specify a secret string with a maximum length of 1024 characters. There is no username associated with the secret, but just a string. It can contain any special characters and is meant for use with the map application API key.

   4. In the Group column, click the ellipses at the end of the column.

      The Select Group screen appears.

   5. From the Select from list drop-down list, select the domain.

   6. Scroll through the Available OS group list to locate the group, and click the + icon.

      The selected OS group appears in the Selected group section.

      By default, all named credentials are added to the Administrators group. In addition, we recommend you to add groups that the users running the application belong. This will allow the users to access the credentials even when running the application in a non-administrator mode, such as WindowViewer.

      Note: To remove a group, select the group in the Selected group section, and click Delete (-).

   7. Click OK.

2. In the Details section, do the following:

   8. In the Domain field, enter the user domain.

      Note: The Domain field is enabled for Domain username and password type only. If you select the Credential Type as Username and Password, the Domain field is disabled.

   9. In the User name field, enter the user name for the selected credential.

   10. In the Password field, enter the password for the given user name.

   11. In the Confirm password field, enter the password again.

   12. In the Secret field enter a value that you can use as a secret key.

       Note: The Secret field is enabled and the remaining fields are disabled when you select the Type field as Secret.

3. Click Save.

To delete a credential

4. Select a credential from the grid.

5. Click Delete (-).

   The selected credential gets deleted.
