For powershell devices, when a device is first discovered, the cred used to added into this cred keys table, and then nightly discovery will also use that cred. You can also add a second cred from the properties page. 

The issue i found is that if you change creds, for whatever reason the cred key table doesn’t get updated. 

We have created a DA which dynamically aligns DAs using ‘from sl_credentials.constants import CRED_POWERSHELL’ to pull the credentials. because its not updated the DA doesn’t work 

Is there a way to pull the credential for a powershell device more dynamically, also, i think the nightly discovery also uses the same, so I think that it would also fail?

Or is there a process which updates the table?

Hello James,

 

The master.system_settings_credentials_keys database table is used to store the alignment of secondary credentials to specific devices. It tracks which additional credentials (beyond the primary one) are associated with a device for discovery or monitoring purposes. I would not expect Powershell credentials to be stored in this table.

 

What are you trying to accomplish? Is there an issue you are trying to resolve?

Hi Tony, 

 

We’ve created a DA which uses this library ‘from sl_credentials.constants import CRED_POWERSHELL’

But this doesnt seem to pull right cred if there has been a change, it remains with the credential that it was first discovered with. 

Is there a way to see what are the primary creds aligned that the nightly would use?

 

Thanks
