Save credentials in console mode (imcl -c)

We can store credentials for repositories that require authentication.

We must have a repository that requires authentication. Set repository preferences in console mode.

See Store credentials.

If we share an instance of Installation Manager with other users, see Save credentials in a key ring file when we share an instance of Installation Manager. A selected option is indicated by an X in brackets: [X]. Options that are not selected are indicated by empty brackets: [ ]. We can press Enter to select the default entry or select a different command. For example, [N] indicates that the default selection is N for the Next command.

Procedure

To save credentials when prompted:

1. Enter P: Provide credentials and connect.

2. Enter user_name and press Enter.

3. Enter password and press Enter.

4. Optional: enter 1 to save the password.

5. Enter O: Ok.

   Installation Manager accesses the repository with the provided credentials. The time required to access the repository might delay the return of the console mode prompt after we save credentials.
