Creating or Editing a Lockbox to Store User Credentials for
External Applications
Create a lockbox for each secured application the user
needs to access through the portal.
To access the Credential Vault Manager you must be a member
of the Administrators Group.
- Click Administration.
- In the Select Utility drop-down list, click Credential
Vault Manager.
- Click New Lockbox or click an existing lockbox to edit it.
- In the Name box, type a name for
the lockbox.
Users will see this name in a list of their external accounts
when they click Password Manager on the My Account page. The name should clearly identify the
external system for which users will enter their login credentials.
- In the Description text box, type
a description for this lockbox.
This description displays in the Administrative Objects Directory
to help other administrators understand what this object is.
- If your
portal administrator did not set a mandatory object language, in the Primary Language drop-down list, select the language
for the name and description you entered.
If your portal administrator did set a mandatory object language,
you see the mandatory language instead of a drop-down list. You cannot
change this setting. The name and description you entered must be
in the mandatory language.
If a localized name and description is not available in a user's
selected language, the user will see the name and description in the
specified primary language.
- If you want to add localized names and descriptions:
- Select Supports Localized Names.
The Localized Names and Descriptions section appears.
- Add or edit
the localized names and descriptions:
- To add an
entry for a language, click New Localized Name, then, in the Name and Description dialog box, enter the localized
name and/or description, select the appropriate language, and click Finish.
- To edit an
existing entry, click the entry you want to change, then, in the Name
and Description dialog box, edit the entry as necessary, and click Finish.
To remove
existing entries, select the entries you want to remove and click .
To select or clear all
entries, select or clear the check box to the left of Name.
- Under Lockbox Properties, enter
names for the user name and password properties for this lockbox.
End users will see these names in the Password Manager when
entering their login credentials for the external system corresponding
to this lockbox.
These properties will be created when you save
the lockbox. After you have saved the lockbox, these properties appear
as links. Click the links to edit the properties.
