Credentials definition

This topic introduces credentials definition, that can be managed from the Orchestration CLI and from the Dynamic Workload Console.

You can define credentials for job definition runs. Credential definitions are used to store user IDs and password/token, they can be used in job definitions for authentication on APIs or operating systems (e.g. to run jobs on Windows).

If you run a job with credentials that reference an existing credentials item, the product searches for that credentials definition on the same workstation of that job. Otherwise, HCL Universal Orchestrator searches for generic credentials without a defined workstation.

Note:

On Windows operating systems, if the username does not contain Windows domain information, it is resolved in the following order: a local user, a domain user, or a trusted domain user.
