Information needed for authenticating management groups Prerequisites You need the following information (credentials) for the management groups you want to authenticate for VSS: • Management group name • User name and password for logging in to the management group. Choosing between default or individual credentials If you use the same user name and password to log into all your management groups, you can designate default credentials for that user name and password combination. If you use unique user name and password combinations for different management groups, you can define individual credentials for different management groups. Setting the credentials To use VSS, you must enter the user name and password for management groups containing the volumes to snapshot. With the latest version of the VSS Provider, you may find that the credentials are already configured. This is because in some situations, the system may automatically discover authentication from the SAN. Opening the Authentication Console Open the Authentication Console from the Programs menu.
