Enabling user credential caching

User credential caching provides a single sign-on method for accessing units supported by certain plug-ins. If enabled, the credentials used to log in to the DSView 3 software are maintained in a secure internal cache. A supported plug-in, such as the Virtualization plug-in, can retrieve these credentials to log in to connected units.

To enable user credential caching:

NOTE: Only DSView 3 software administrators may access this procedure.

1.Click the System tab.

2.Click User Credential Properties in the side navigation bar.

3.Check the Enable credential caching checkbox.

4.Click Save.

Any currently logged in users must log out and log in again for their credentials to be cached.
