After successfully authenticating, cached credentials are used whenever you access other units during that HP IP Console Viewer session, and the user name and password prompt does not appear unless authentication with the cached credentials fails. Clearing login credentials You can clear cached credentials at any time. NOTE: Clearing login credentials also clears your preference for SSH versus plaintext serial sessions, if previously saved.
