Enter a name for the credentials.

NOTE  The Name field has a limit of 255 characters.

Choose one of the following options:

• Global: The credentials will apply to all sites in the Datto RMM account.

• Site: The credentials will only apply to one site. Once this option is selected, enter a site name. The search results will be narrowed as you type.

Select the type of credentials you would like to create and configure their details.

Windows credentials

To be able to deploy an Agent across a LAN, you will need to have a username and a password for the devices you want to install the Agent on. You can save these credentials so that you don't have to enter them when adding new devices. At the time of initiating Agent deployment, you will be prompted to select a set of credentials. Refer to LAN deployment from the Web Portal.

1. In the Username field, enter a username.

2. In the Password field, enter a password. The password is hidden as you type.

ESXi credentials

If you would like to manage ESXi devices in Datto RMM, you can save their credentials so that you don't have to enter them when adding new devices. For information about how to add ESXi devices, refer to Managing and monitoring ESXi devices.

Configure the following details:

Field	Description
vSphere Username	Enter a vSphere username.
vSphere Password	Enter a vSphere password. The password is hidden as you type.
CIM Port	Enter the CIM port number. By default, it is set to 5989. The maximum value is 65534.
Port	Enter a port number. By default, it is set to 443. The maximum value is 65534.

SNMP credentials

If you would like to manage SNMP-enabled devices in Datto RMM, you can save their credentials so that you don't have to enter them when adding new devices. Cached SNMP credentials are also used during network discovery. For more information, refer to Managing and monitoring SNMP-enabled network devices and printers and Network scan process.

1. Select one of the following versions: v1, v2c, or v3.

NOTE   SNMP v1 and v2c only need a name and a community string; however, SNMP v3 requires more complex security. If you are not sure which settings to configure in Datto RMM to be able to connect to your network device over SNMP, refer to the SNMP device's documentation or provider for more details.

2. If you have selected v1 or v2c and your device has a customized community string, enter it into the Community field. The community string works as a password. If the field is left blank, the default read-only community string public is applied.

If you have selected v3, configure the following details:

Field	Description
V3 User	Enter a v3 username.
Authentication	Select an authentication protocol: • None • MD5 • SHA1
V3 Password	Enter a v3 password. The password is hidden as you type. If you have selected None in the Authentication section, this field becomes inactive.
Encryption	Select an encryption standard: • None • DES • AES128
V3 Encryption Key	Enter a v3 encryption key. If you have selected None in the Encryption section, this field becomes inactive.
Context	Enter the SNMP context ID to be able to access the correct device information. NOTE   An SNMP context is a collection of management information, identified by a Context ID and a Context Name (source: The Internet Engineering Task Force).

SSH credentials

To be able to deploy an Agent across a LAN, you will need to have a username and a password for the devices you want to install the Agent on. You can save these credentials so that you don't have to enter them when adding new devices. At the time of initiating Agent deployment, you will be prompted to select a set of credentials. Refer to LAN deployment from the Web Portal.

1. In the Username field, enter a username.

2. In the Password field, enter a password. The password is hidden as you type.

Click Create Credential to save the credentials or click Cancel to discard the changes.

To see all global and site-level credentials configured in your Datto RMM account, navigate to the Credentials page. To see only one type of credentials, select a type at the top of the page. To see a list of credentials of only one site, enter a site name in the Filter by Site field above the All Credentials table. The search results will be narrowed as you type.

The table displays the following information:

The number of results displayed can be specified by selecting the desired number from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the table. This selection will persist the next time the page is accessed.
