Configure Access Accounts

"Access account" is the account information that is used by the Management Console to communicate with the device. Configure an access account to search for and communicate with a device.

There are three types of access accounts as follows:

• Device Administrator
• SNMP
• SDK/J Platform

To manage a device using the discovery, polling, and template functions, make sure that the authentication information of the access account matches the authentication information configured on the device.

More than one access account can be specified at one time, and the accounts are used in the specified order to access devices when you perform discovery. Accounts that have successfully accessed the device are stored in the device properties, and the recorded device access account is used thereafter.

A default account is created for every access account: Device Administrator, SNMP, and SDK/J Platform. The default account, named “default,” can be edited but cannot be deleted.

For DM Agent-managed devices, please configure the settings in Set DM Agent Access Profiles.
