Configuring Device Credentials

Download this manual as a PDF file

This section describes how to configure the credentials required by the automation actions in the Dell EMC Unity Automations PowerPack.

If you already have the Dell EMC: Unity PowerPack installed and monitoring your Dell EMC devices, you do not need to configure an additional credential.

Editing the Credential

If you do not have the Dell EMC: Unity PowerPack installed and configured, follow the steps for installation in the Installing the Dell EMC: Unity PowerPack section.

Once you have the Dell EMC: Unity PowerPack installed, you must edit the SOAP/XML credential that allows the Dynamic Applications in the Dell EMC Unity Automations PowerPack to use the Unisphere REST API.

To configure the SOAP/XML credential to access the Unisphere REST API:

  1. Go to the Credential Management page (System > Manage > Credentials).

  1. Locate the credential you created following the steps in the Creating a SOAP/XML Credential for Dell EMC Unity section, and then click its wrench icon (). The Edit SOAP/XML Credential page appears:

  1. Change the value in the Method field to GET.

  1. Click Save.
  2. When the confirmation message appears, click OK.
