When you add an agent in the cluster you need to specify a credential to connect to the new agent. Do you know where this credential is saved and if it’s possible to update it for an agent already present in a cluster?
Hi Bernard,
The credentials that are requested by Cube when adding a new agent to the cluster are not stored. They get used for a temporary connection from the Cube client to the target system only (to set up the cluster name). Be aware that this connection goes directly from the client to the new agent, which explains why a new agent cannot be added to the cluster from a client machine that cannot access that agent.
The actual connections between the agents typically don't need credentials if these are within the same domain or workgroup. In cases where the agents cannot authenticate automatically, dedicated credentials can be provided through configuring connection strings. The credentials provided there are then stored in the DMS.xml file and the DataMiner password storage.
Oops. I updated the link. The relevant item on there is “Editing the connection string between two DataMiner Agents”. While it doesn’t mention username and password and mentions the NAT use case, the same UI can be used to specify a user name and password (connection string can be left untouched to just change the credentials)
Thanks a lot Wouter,
The configuring connection strings link in your answer doesn’t work and I didn’t find anything about this in the help about the dms.xml
