Register a SQL Server instance with a new credential
For unregistered and newly discovered instances, you can also use a credential rule to automatically register these assets.
Note:
The database and the availability group discovery begin after the credentials are validated. However, these assets may not appear in the web UI immediately. They appear after the discovery process completes. The date reflects when the credential was added or updated; it does not indicate if the credential is valid.
To add a new credential for a SQL Server instance
- Review the recommendations and requirements for the type of credentials that you want to use for authentication.
- Select the Instances tab.
- Select the check box for each instance that you want to register. Then select Manage credentials.
For availability groups, each replica in the group must be registered with credentials.
- Select Add credentials and select Next.
- Select the authentication option.
