Manage credentials

Credentials are used to access servers. OceanBase Admin Toolkit (OAT) supports two types of credentials: the combination of username and password, and key. This topic describes how to manage credentials in the OAT console.

Prerequisites

Before you manage credentials, make sure that you have logged in to OAT as a super administrator or an O&M engineer.

Create a credential

1. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Server > Credential Management.

2. In the upper-right corner of the page that appears, click Create Credentials.

3. In the Create Credentials dialog box, specify the credential information.

   The following table describes the related parameters.

   Parameter	Description
   Credential Name	The name of the credential.
   Authorization Type	The authorization type of the credentials. OAT provides three authorization types for credentials: password authentication, public key authentication, and password-free authentication.
   User Type	The type of the user to connect to the server.
   Password	The password used to connect to the server.
   Host Where Credential Is Applied	The IP address of the server corresponding to the credential.

4. Click OK.

Modify a credential

1. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Server > Credential Management.

2. Find the credential that you want to modify and click Modify in the Actions column.

   You can also search for the credential by name at the top of the page.

3. On the Modify Credentials page, modify the credential name, user type, and password.

4. Click OK.

Delete a credential

1. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Server > Credential Management.

2. Find the credential that you want to delete and click Delete in the Actions column.

   You can also search for the credential by name at the top of the page.

3. In the dialog box that appears, click OK.

What to do next

After you create a credential, you can use the credential to connect to a server when you add the server.
