TIBCO MFT Command Center Server Credential Definitions

Server credentials support you to define in a more granular fashion the user ID and password that should be used when communicating with TIBCO MFT Platform Server.

While server definitions support you to define a default TIBCO MFT Platform Server user ID and password for all TIBCO MFT Command Center users, server credentials support you to specify a TIBCO MFT Platform Server user ID and password to be used when a Platform Server request is made by a specific TIBCO MFT Command Center user.

You can create a server credential through the Add Server Credentials page which can be accessed by clicking Servers > Server Credentials > Add Server Credentials. You must complete the information in the Required Server Credential Information section. Wherein, the User parameter defines the TIBCO MFT Command Center user performing a TIBCO MFT Platform Server function, while the Server Name parameter defines the TIBCO MFT Command Center server entry that defines the TIBCO MFT Platform Server system. The Remote User Id and Remote User Password parameters define the encrypted user ID and password to be sent to the TIBCO MFT Platform Server system when a TIBCO MFT Command Center Platform Server function is executed.

For example, assume that the TIBCO MFT Command Center administrator creates a TIBCO MFT Command Center user definition called TechSupp and a TIBCO MFT Command Center server definition called NYMFT Platform Server1 that is configured to communicate with TIBCO MFT Platform Server. The user TechSupp now wants to communicate with the server NYMFT Platform Server1. To perform any TIBCO MFT Command Center function on this server, you need a user ID and password that is valid on the server NYMFT Platform Server1. This user ID and password are used whenever the user TechSupp performs a TIBCO MFT Command Center function that requires it to communicate with the server NYMFT Platform Server1.

In this example, you build the following server credential:

Parameter Value
User TechSupp
Server Name NYMFT Platform Server1
Remote User Id TSUSER1: the name of the user on the system NYMFT Platform Server1.
Remote Password abc123: the password for the user TSUSER1.
Confirm Password abc123: the same information as for the Remote Password parameter.

If the system NYMFT Platform Server1 defines a Windows computer, you must also define the Remote User Windows Domain parameter in the Windows Properties section.

After defining all the parameters, click Add to add the server credential information. Now, whenever the user TechSupp initiates a TIBCO MFT Command Center request that requires TIBCO MFT Command Center to communicate with the TIBCO MFT Platform Server system NYMFT Platform Server1, the encrypted user ID TSUSER1 and the password abc123 are sent to the TIBCO MFT Platform Server system NYMFT Platform Server1.
