Working with the Device Inventory
Device Credentials Page
Use the Device Credentials page to add or change the usernames and passwords that are required for
device access. For information about device credentials, see Understanding Device Credentials,
page 3-4.
The Credentials page is the same whether you are adding a new device (in the New Device wizard), or
viewing an existing device’s properties.
When adding a new device, you are prompted for credentials only when adding devices manually or from
the network.
Tip In the New Device wizard, when you click Next or Finish when adding a device from the network,
Security Manager tests whether it can connect to the device using these credentials. The Device
Connectivity Test dialog box stays open while the test is in progress (see Device Connectivity Test
Dialog Box, page 9-3). If the test fails, click Details to see detailed error information. If you are adding
devices that contain modules, for example, a Catalyst switch with an FWSM, you are then prompted for
module discovery information.
Navigation Path
• For new devices, to start the New Device wizard, from Device view, select File > New Device, or
click the Add button in the device selector.
• For existing devices, to open the device properties, double-click a device in the Device selector, then
click Credentials on the Device Properties Page.
