For credentials to be displayed in the Credentials list, they must be added to the Credentials Manager as described in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Standard Accounts. If you have not added the necessary credentials to the Credentials Manager beforehand, you can do this without closing the New Nutanix AHV Backup Appliance wizard. To add credentials, do the following:
- Click Add.
- In the Credentials window, specify a user name and password for the account.
The user name must start with a lowercase Latin letter and must not match Linux system user names (such as root, daemon). The name can contain only lowercase Latin letters, numeric characters, underscores and dashes. The maximum length of the name is 32 characters.
- Click OK.
The backup server will connect to the Nutanix AHV backup appliance and check its TLS certificate. If the certificate is not trusted, the Certificate Security Alert Window will display a warning notifying that secure communication cannot be guaranteed. To allow the backup server to connect to the Nutanix AHV backup appliance using the certificate, click Continue.
