Add new credentials

1. On the Manage credentials page, select Add new credentials and click Next.
2. On the Manage credentials page, add the details such as Credential name, tag, description.
3. On the Host credentials tab, add Host username, Host password, SSH port, RSA key, and Share type.

   • Run the following command to ensure that the SSH connection between MDSP media server and host is working:

     ssh username@remote_host_name

   • Run the following command to verify that it is listing the RSA key for remote scan host:

     ssh-keyscan scan_host_name 2>/dev/null | grep ssh-rsa

   • To obtain the RSA key for the remote scan host, use the following command on Linux MSDP media server:

     ssh-keyscan scan_host_name 2>/dev/null | grep ssh-rsa | awk '{print $3}' | base64 -d | sha256sum

     For example, the output is 33f697637ab3f0911c1d462d4bde8be3eec61a33403e8f6a88daecb415a31eef - where the RSA key is 33f697637ab3f0911c1d462d4bde8be3eec61a33403e8f6a88daecb415a31eef

     Note:

     Ensure that you remove the - character from RSA key when you copy.

4. For SMB share type, enter the following additional details:

   • Active directory domain: A domain to which storage server is connected (used to authenticate mounts on scan host).

   • Active directory group: A group name in active directory domain.

   • Active directory user: A user added in selected active directory group.

   • Password

5. Click Save.
