Managing device passwords

For devices and registries to begin exchanging data and commands, you need to log in. This section describes how to manage device passwords for the appropriate authorization method.

Note

When using an X.509 certificate along with a password, the password has higher priority.

Adding a password to a device

You can add a password to an already created device or set it when creating a device using the --password parameter.

Note

You can also set a password from the input stream. To do this, use the --read-password flag instead of the --password parameter.

  5. Select the desired device from the list.
