Select or add credentials to SQL Server instances or replicas
To allow for full discovery of SQL Server assets, you must add or select the server credentials for the instances or replicas. Review the requirements for the SQL Server credential option that you want to use.
See About Microsoft SQL Server credentials.
To select or add credentials to SQL Server instances or replicas
- On the left, click Workloads > Microsoft SQL Server.
- Click on the Instances tab.
- Select the check box for the instances or replicas and click Manage credentials.
Each replica in an availability group must be registered with credentials.
- Choose one of the following options. Specific RBAC permissions are required to be able to select or to add credentials to a SQL Server asset.
See the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide or contact your NetBackup administrator for assistance.
Select from existing credentials
Select the credential that you want to use for the selected assets and click Next.
Add credentials
Select one of the following options:
Use credentials that are defined locally on the client and click Next.
Use these specific credentials
Provide the User name, password, and Domain that are associated with the credentials. Click Next.
- The Permissions screen displays the roles that have access to the credential.
If you have the necessary RBAC permissions, you can do one or more of the following:
Add another RBAC role to give it access to the credential.
Edit the permissions that a role has for a credential.
Remove a role.
- Click Next. Review the credential settings and click Finish.
The registered date reflects the date and time the credential was added or updated and does not indicate if the credentials are valid.
The database and the availability group discovery begins after the credentials are validated. However, these assets may not appear in the web UI immediately. They appear after the discovery process completes.
