Credential Vault
The Credential Vault stores the credentials used by Novell

ZENworks
®
10 Configuration
Management actions and tasks that require authentication to access a particular resource.
For example, if you want to create a third-party Imaging bundle by using the image files stored in a
shared-network image repository that requires authentication, you can add a credential that includes
the login name and password for the repository in the credential vault. During the creation of the
third-party Imaging bundle, you can specify the credential name to access the repository.
Currently, third-party imaging uses credentials stored in the credential vault.
You can use ZENworks Control Center or the zman command line utility to manage credentials. The
procedures in this section explain how to manage credentials by using ZENworks Control Center. If
you prefer the zman command line utility, see “
Credential Commands
” in the
ZENworks 10
Configuration Management Command Line Utilities Reference
.
Currently, third-party imaging uses credentials stored in the credential vault.
