# Step 4. Specify Credentials

At the **Credentials** step of the wizard:

1. Click **Add credentials** and specify credentials of the user account for connecting to the server.

   For details on adding credentials records, see [Security](credentials_manager.md).

   By default, port `8100` is used as the VMM Administrator Console to VMM server port.
