The domain login credentials - if you checked the Remember username/password check box when activating or modifying the domain, the username and password are already filled in. Otherwise, the domain is displayed in italics, and you must enter the username and password in the Domain Credentials section.
If you have multiple domains selected, every one must have its credentials filled in before you can create the inventories. If any of the selected domains are missing credentials, a message at the top of the Inventory Wizard says that the required credentials are missing and the Finish button is greyed out.
