Credentials definition

Credential definitions are used to store user IDs and passwords, or tokens.

Credentials can be used in task definitions for authentication on APIs or operating systems (e.g. to run tasks on Windows).

You can define credentials for task definition runs.

If you run a task with credentials that reference an existing credentials item, the product searches for that credentials definition on the same workstation of that task. 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.

Credentials can be managed from the Orchestration CLI and from the UI. For information about how to define credentials, see:
