Setting ESX Credentials

PA Server Monitor can associate a set of VMWare ESX credentials with a monitored computer.

The following context menu choice allows you to access the Set ESX Credentials dialog. If you don't see the ESX menu, you need to set the Server Type.

The Set ESX Credentials dialog lets you set ESX credentials that will be used when accessing an ESX server.

When you press OK, the credentials are validated and saved. If you want to clear the credentials, clear both values and press OK.

Credential Security

All credentials are protected using the Microsoft best practice of encrypting them with a machine-specific key, which means they can only be decrypted on the same computer they were encrypted on.

Credential Manager

You can see and update current credentials in the system via the Credential Manager.
