Step 3. Enter Credentials
At the Credentials step of the wizard, specify credentials for an account with the Root privileges that is used to access the Proxmox VE server. For more information on Proxmox VE permission management, see Proxmox VE documentation.
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 Proxmox VE Server wizard. To add an account, do the following:
- Click Add.
- In the Credentials window, do the following:
- In the Username field, enter the name of a user account with administrative privileges.
- In the Password field, enter the password for the account.
- Click OK.
The backup server will connect to the Proxmox VE server and check its TLS certificate. If the certificate is not installed on the backup server, 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 Proxmox VE server using the certificate, click Continue.
