Creating Desktop Credentials in Continuous Testing Manager

Desktop credentials are needed in a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) session with the Continuous Testing Manager (CTM) Agent. CTM uses one desktop credential for each RDP session.

The Continuous Testing Manager Machine Credentials Admin group is the only group that adds, edits, and views desktop credential details.

To create desktop credentials:

From the Continuous Testing Manager menu, click Configuration and select Desktop Credentials from the drop-down menu.

The Desktop Credentials page opens.
Click Create Desktop Credentials.

The Create Desktop Credentials page opens.
(Optional) In the Description field, enter a description.
With the Disable/Enable option, select to disable or enable your desktop credentials.
Select one of the following Credential options:
Desktop Credential
Third-party Credential
If you selected Desktop Credential, enter the following information:
Domain
User name
Password
If you selected Third-party Credential, complete the following:
From the Credential Type drop-down list, select a credential type.
From the Integration Name drop-down list, select a name.
In the Key (object) field, enter the key user name. The key user does not need to exist in the third-party. If it does not exist, a message appears when you save the credential asking if you want to save the new key.
In the Attributes (key/value) section, click Add Key/Value.

A new attribute row appears in the grid.

If you selected Third-party Credential, you must add at least one attribute in order to save the credential.
In the Key and Value fields, enter the information in the respective field.
Click Save .
Click Save & Done.

A message appears saying the credential was created successfully.
Click OK.

The new credentials appear in the Desktop Credentials page.

To edit a desktop credential:

In the Desktop Credentials page, click the Edit button next to the desktop credential that you want to edit.

The Edit Desktop Credentials page opens.
Apply any needed edits.
Click Save & Done.

A message appears stating that the edits were saved.
Click OK.
