Credentials manager

The Credentials manager is a tool that lets you centralize the management of monitored endpoints to make it easier to create, delete, or update the credentials that are needed to access those endpoints.

Credentials manager is a feature that lets you securely store passwords, and other sensitive information, that Guardian uses to:

Access hosts through Smart Polling or Arc
Decrypt encrypted transmissions that are passively detected

Before Credentials manager, Smart Polling managed device credentials. Users migrating their system over to a version with Credentials manager will have their existing device credentials automatically migrated over to Credentials manager as part of the execution of the migration tasks after the upgrade.
