Step by Step User Guide - Credentials

How to create a Credential

A Credential is made up of a "CredKey" and a "Pkey" and without either of these a Credential cannot be created

This step by step guide will show how to create both a "CredKey" and a "Pkey" and use these to create a "Credential"

Note: it doesn't matter the order in which a "CredKey" or "Pkey" are created

 

From the navigation menu on the left, click on "Credentials". This displays a sub-menu of three options

Clicking either of the three options available, will take you to each corresponding "Credentials" section
(if you have no Credentials, we suggest starting by creating either a "CredKey" or "Pkey")

CredKeys

CredKeys - Adding a new CredKey

To make a new CredKey click on the "New CredKey" button

After clicking the "New CredKey" button, the "New CredKey" window will appear with
a textbox for a "CredKey Name"
a textbox for a "CredKey Value"
a drop-down for a "Vault" (this is the Azure Key Vault where the CredKey will be stored)

In the "CredKey Name" textbox enter a 'Name for the CredKey' that is easy to recognize, but is also
easy to distinguish from other "CredKeys"

In this example we entered "UserGuideCredKey" as the 'Name for the CredKey'
and selected "PWM Hosted" as the 'Vault' to store the CredKey

In the "CredKey Value" textbox enter a 'Value for the CredKey'
This can be a username, email address or any other identity type value

In this example we entered "Test.Account@example.com"

Once each of the fields have been filled, click the "Save" button

Once saved it will appear in the "CredKeys" list under the "CredKey Name" entered

PKeys

PKeys - Adding a new Pkey

To make a new PKey click on the "New PKey" button

After clicking the "New PKey" button, the "New PKey" window will appear with
a textbox for a "PKey Name"
a textbox for a "PKey Value"
a drop-down for a "Vault" (this is the Azure Key Vault where the PKey will be stored)

In the "PKey Name" textbox enter a 'Name for the PKey' that is easy to recognize, but is also
easy to distinguish from other "PKeys"

In this example we entered "UserGuidePKey" as the 'Name for the PKey'
and selected "PWM Hosted" as the 'Vault' to store the PKey

In the "PKey Value" textbox enter a 'Password Value for the PKey'

In this example we entered "MySuperSecretPassword!123"

Once each of the fields have been filled, click the "Save" button

Once saved it will appear in the "PKeys" list under the "PKey Name" entered
