Specifying Preferred Credential Type for Corrective Actions

Preferred credentials are used to simplify access to managed targets by storing the login information for those targets in the Management Repository.

When creating a Corrective Action (CA) definition, you can specify which type of preferred credential should be used when running the CA based on the functional nature of the CA. There are two types of preferred credentials you can select when creating the CA definition:

• Normal
• Privileged

Important: Preferred credentials need to be global named credentials.
