Managing the Credential Store

You can use Perl to manage the credential store.
You can use the following approaches.
  • Use the subroutines in
    VICredStore.pm
     in your Perl script. See vSphere Credential Store Subroutine Reference for reference documentation. The
    credstore_admin.pl
     script illustrates how to use the subroutines.
  • Use the
    \apps\general\credstore_admin.pl
     commands to manage the store interactively.
Create a user with appropriate privileges and store the corresponding user name and password in the credential store. Do not use the root or administrator user and the corresponding password.
