The only supplied credential is that of SNMP public.
Configuring credentials should be one of the first things you do after installing Open-AudIT.
Credentials are encrypted when stored in the database.
When a Discovery is run, a device has its credentials retrieved and tested for connection first (from the credential
table). If these fail, then credentials associated with the given Org credentials.org_id
is also tested against the device. Working credentials are stored at an individual device level in the credential table (note - no \"s\" in the table name).
SSH keys are tested before SSH username / password. When testing SSH, credentials will also be marked as working with sudo or being root.
For ease of use, Windows passwords should not contain a ' or \". This is a remote WMI limitation, not an Open-AudIT limitation.
