Manage credentials for MS-SQL servers



Overview
Druva Phoenix now allows you to assign credentials to MS-SQL Servers. Phoenix stores these credentials securely. When you assign a credential to an MS-SQL server, Phoenix automatically assigns it to the Phoenix service on the SQL server, and this credential does not get overwritten by default user settings during an agent upgrade. Assigning credentials to SQL servers is not mandatory during server registration.
You can manage credentials for the MS-SQL Servers from the Registered Servers page under Windows/Linux Servers.
The Credentials column in the Registered Servers page displays the credentials assigned to each server in the list.
You can use the Manage Credentials option to:
- Create a new credential for MS-SQL Servers
- Assign credentials
- Unassign credentials
Note: You can Update or Delete credentials from Settings
> Credential Store. For more information, see the Credentials Store article.
