Connect to Device Using The type of credentials Security Manager should use when accessing
devices. For more information, see Understanding Device Credentials,
page 3-4.
• Security Manager User Login Credentials—Security Manager
contacts the device using the credentials that you entered while
logging in to Security Manager. The same set of credentials are
used for all devices regardless of the credentials configured for
each device on the Device Credentials page.
• Security Manager Device Credentials—Security Manager
contacts the device using the credentials specified in the Device
Properties Credentials page. This is the default.
Caution You must use Security Manager Device Credentials, not
Security Manager User Login Credentials, if a connection to
an IPS sensor is involved. When Security Manager contacts
an IPS sensor, it must use device credentials whether or not
someone is logged in to Security Manager.
