User Credentials: Specifying user credentials to access automation domains

Use the User Credentials tab to configure the user credentials used by functional user. The automation framework uses these credentials to authenticate itself.

The characters that are used for all user IDs entered on this tab are limited to the following ASCII characters: A–Z, a-z, 0–9, and _ (underscore).
