Credentials Manager

You can use the Credentials Manager to create and maintain a list of credentials records that you plan to use to connect to components in the virtual and backup infrastructure.

The Credentials Manager lets you create the following types of credentials records:

• Standard account
• Linux private key

Adding Standard Accounts

You can create a credentials record for an account that you plan to use to connect to infrastructure objects and their guest OS.

To create a new standard credentials record:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

For details, see Accessing Veeam ONE Client.

2. In the main menu, click Credentials Manager.

Alternatively, press [CTRL + M] on the keyboard.

3. Click Add > Standard account.
4. In the Username field, enter a user name for the account that you want to add. You can also click Browse to select an existing user account.
5. In the Password field, enter a password for the account that you want to add. To view the entered password, click and hold the eye icon on the right of the field.
6. In the Description field, enter a description for the created credentials record.

As there can be a number of similar account names, for example, Administrator, it is recommended that you provide a meaningful unique description for the credentials record so that you can distinguish it in the list. The description is shown in brackets, following the user name.

7. Click Save.

Adding Linux Private Keys

You can add a credentials record to connect to Linux machines using the Identity/Pubkey authentication method.

To create a new credentials record using the Identity/Pubkey authentication method:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

For details, see Accessing Veeam ONE Client.

2. In the main menu, click Credentials Manager.

Alternatively, press [CTRL + M] on the keyboard.

3. Click Add > Linux private key.
4. In the Username field, specify a user name for the created credentials record.
5. In the Password field, specify the password for the user account.
6. Click Browse next to the Private key field to select a private key file.
7. In the Passphrase field, specify a passphrase for the private key on the backup server.
8. In the Description field, enter a description for the created credentials record.

As there can be a number of similar account names, for example, Root, it is recommended that you supply a meaningful unique description for the credentials record so that you can distinguish it in the list.

9. Click Save.

Editing and Deleting Credentials Records

You can edit or delete credentials records that you have created.

To edit a credentials record:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

For details, see Accessing Veeam ONE Client.

2. In the main menu, click Credentials Manager.

Alternatively, press [CTRL + M] on the keyboard.

3. Select the credentials record in the list and click Edit.
4. If the credentials record is already used for any component in the infrastructure, Veeam ONE will display a warning. Click Edit to confirm your intention.
5. Edit settings of the credentials record as required and click Save.

To delete a credentials record:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

For details, see Accessing Veeam ONE Client.

2. In the main menu, click Credentials Manager.

Alternatively, press [CTRL + M] on the keyboard.

3. Select the credentials record in the list and click Delete.

If the credentials record is already used for any component in the infrastructure, Veeam ONE will display a warning. In this case, you need to connect to an infrastructure object with new credentials before deleting current credentials record.
