WebService - login information

The Credentials.xml file contains credentials for authentication with clients. This data is only used if the value for UseCredentials has been set to True in the web service configuration. (See Web Config chapter) The file is located in the configuration directory:

{Installationspfad}\Resources\SecurityConfiguration\Credentials.xml

This functionality is required if communication is to take place across domains or if the server is not entered as the local administrator on the clients to be managed. One user with administrator authorization can be specified per domain. The password is stored in encrypted form. For this the supplied tool "Password Encryptor is needed".

When specifying multiple domains, a fallback domain should always be specified. The user data of this domain is always used when the web service tries to authenticate itself with a client that is located in a domain for which no explicit user data has been defined.

The password is automatically encrypted by its input. This can then be copied and pasted into the appropriate place in the "EncryptedPassword" parameter in the configuration file.
