Managing device security profiles
A Device Security Profile (DSP) defines the login credentials used by the BMC Network Automation system to perform span actions. The system always uses the DSP for snapshot span actions and policy-initiated span actions (for example, Auto-Remediate using Deploy to Active). Other user-initiated span actions use the DSP when the Source of Device Login Username/Password for Jobs under Admin > System Parameters is set to Device Security Profile.
A profile can be shared by all the devices that share a common set of credentials. Every device must have an assigned DSP.
The following table contains tasks and information for managing your device security profiles by using BMC Network Automation, and provides links to the applicable topics:
