As an administrator, you can add credentials for Windows file servers, MS-SQL, and VMware workloads that you protect using Druva. Using the credential store, you can securely store credentials with Druva and then assign them to virtual machines (VMs), Windows file servers, and SQL servers at scale. You can create labels corresponding to the credentials for easier identification.
Storing credentials within Druva allows you to assign credentials to one or more servers seamlessly without having to input the credentials manually each time.
❗ Important
The credential store doesn't integrate with your infrastructure. It is a mechanism to store credentials for a group of servers (VMs, Windows file servers, and SQL servers) that need the same credentials.
To add a credential
Log in to the Management Console.
From the top menu, select an organization.
After you select an organization, click Clipboard eedfbfcfbab > Credentials Store on the top menu.
On the Credentials Store page, click Add Credentials.
In the Add Credentials dialog that appears, provide the following details:
Label:Enter a label to uniquely identify a credential that you want to store with Druva.
Username:Enter the username of the credential you want to store with Druva. If your account uses a domain, enter the username as domain\username. For example, DruvaCorp\JohnDoe.
Password:Enter the password of the credential you want to store with Druva.
Confirm Password:Re-enter the password of the credential you want to store with Druva.
Click Save.
To update a credential
Log in to the Management Console.
From the top menu, select an organization.
After you select an organization, click Clipboard eedfbfcfbab > Credentials Store on the top menu.
On the Credentials Store page, select the credential you want to update and then click Update. If the credential that you want to update is associated with a workload, Druva shows a warning message. If you are sure about updating the credentials, click Continue.
In the Update Credentials dialog that appears, enable the field that you want to update. For example, enable the Username field to update it.
Provide the new value of the field that you enable, and then click Save.
To delete a credential
Log in to the Management Console.
From the top menu, select an organization.
After you select an organization, click Clipboard eedfbfcfbab > Credentials Store on the top menu.
On the Credentials Store page, select the credential you want to delete and then click Delete.
In the Delete Confirmation dialog that appears, click Continue.
📝 Note
You cannot delete the credential if it is associated with a workload. Druva prompts you to change the configuration so that the credential is not in use before you can delete it.
