Verifying Credentials
You can verify the credentials entered in Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance for the devices being managed.
Cisco Prime Collaboration has a very good utility that allows you to do this verification in real time as the
credentials are created. After a new credential profile is created, navigate to Operate > Device Work Center >
Manage Credentials. Then select the credential set that contains the device/appliance/server and click Verify
(Figure 7).
Figure 7. Credential Profiles
Enter one of the IP addresses from the range or one of the IP addresses mentioned in the credential profile that
needs to be verified. Click Test. Within 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the type of profile, you should see the
results (Figure 8).
Click on another profile to get back to editing the profile.
