Creating Credentials

Credentials tell the platform how to connect to a specific Exchange server. If you have several Exchange servers, create a separate credential for each one. When creating a credential you provide the following details:

Table 1. Credential fields
Field	Description
Credential name	A name to identify this credential.
Server URL	The address of the Exchange server.
Username	The account used to connect.
Domain	The domain for the account.
Authentication scheme	The method used to authenticate. Several schemes are available — Basic, Negotiate and NTLM — and the appropriate one should be selected for your environment.
Password	The password for the account used to connect.
Optional settings	Additional settings, supplied only if applicable to your environment.

Tip: Some fields carry default values. Confirm each value matches your Exchange environment before saving.

Once a credential is saved it becomes available for selection when you create a scan configuration.
