5 Managing discovery credentials
HP Insight Control for RHEV lets you control which users have access to hosts and subsystems. From
the HP Insight Control for RHEV Credentials button, you can list existing user credentials, create
new user credentials, or update or delete existing user credentials. Although most of your tasks
regarding the creation of credentials are performed during Discovery, you may need to occasionally
change or delete credentials.
Instead of navigating to each host individually and using the Discovery wizard, you can use the
Credentials Editor to enter credentials for all hosts you are aware of. Discovery will be carried out
as a background task, and is not dependent on the host already being managed by RHEV-M.
NOTE: If you use the “*” wildcard as Host name, Discovery will not be initiated from the
Credentials Editor.
HP Insight Control for RHEV lets you list all of the user credentials for hosts and subsystems.
To list credentials (usernames and encrypted passwords):
•
In the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (RHEV-M) window, click the HP Insight Control
tab, located at the top of the screen. The HP Insight Control for RHEV Quick Access screen is
