System Registry Best Practices › Define Remote Credentials

Define Remote Credentials

Remote credentials set up accounts by owner, remote user ID, and remote system name.

Remote credentials are validated during the deployment process. You must adhere to the following guidelines:

• Before creating a new remote credential, make sure that you have the correct owner, remote user ID, remote system name, password, and authenticated authorization.
• Verify that your remote credentials have not expired due to your organization’s standards and rules.
• Use all caps when entering the password if that is required on the target system. CA CSM does not automatically fold passwords to uppercase characters.

A remote credential default can be set up by creating a remote credential without the system name. This default would be for the user creating these remote credentials only.

Business Value:

Use remote credentials to secure that your deployment transmits using authenticated authorization procedures.
