Using common target login

The Common Target Login feature allows you to specify login information that can be used by one or more Targets. If the login information needs to be changed, it can then be updated in a single place without having to update the individual Targets that use it.

To enable common target login

  • On the Target's Main Menu, type t to go to the Target Configuration menu.
  • On the Target Configuration menu, type u to go to the Common Target Login menu.
  • On the Common Target Login menu, type e to enable or change the Common Target Login.
  • Type the username and press Enter.
  • Type the password and press Enter.
  • Retype the password and press Enter.
  • After the Common Target Login has been enabled, you will be asked if you want to use the Common Target Login when adding or updating a Target.

If the Common Target Login information is not correct for a particular Target Service Agent, the process of adding or updating the Target will fail.

Targets that exist when the Common Target Login is enabled must be updated if they are to use the common login information.

To disable common target login

  • On the Target Configuration menu, type u to go to the Common Target Login menu.
  • On the Common Target Login menu, type d to disable the Common Target Login.

After disabling the Common Target Login, you must update all Targets that use it, providing login information for each Target. Backups run for Targets that are not updated will fail.
