This command lets you set the credentials for users to access secure resources, such as hosts, repositories, and database profiles. The host password is the user's password on the host on which SnapManager is running. The repository password is the password of the Oracle user that contains the SnapManager repository schema. The profile password is a password that is made up by the person who creates the profile. For the host and repository options, if the optional -password option is not included, you will be prompted to enter a password of the type specified in the command arguments.

Example command for setting repository credentials

Password for chris@hotspur:1527/SMSAPREPO : ********
Confirm password for chris@hotspur:1527/SMSAPREPO : ********
SMSAP-12345 [INFO ]: Updating credential cache for OS user "admin1"
SMSAP-12345 [INFO ]: Set repository credential for user "user1" on repo1@Host2.

Example command for setting host credentials

Because a host credential represents an actual operating system credential, it must include the username in addition to the password.

Password for avida@bismarck : ********
Confirm password for avida@bismarck : ********
