Adding a Credential to a Built-in Credential Vault

You can add a credential to access:

• a network drive that you want to assign as a mount path to a disk library or a cloud library

• a file server

• a database server

• a virtualization hypervisor

Procedure

1. From the navigation pane, go to Manage > Security.

   The Security page appears.

2. Click the Credential vault tile.

   The Manage credentials page appears.

3. From the upper-right corner of the page, click Add.

   The Add credential dialog box appears.

4. From the Account Type list, select the type of account that you want to create the credential entity for.

     Note

     A NetApp C-Mode file server may have both an NDMP Account and a Storage Array Account. The NDMP Account password is the NDMP password generated on the file server. Run the generate-password command on the file server to obtain an NDMP password. For more information, see the NetApp documentation for your file server.
