Setting server properties on the BMC Server Automation UCS Manager server

Each UCS system that you plan to manage through BMC Server Automation must have a common user account with the same username and password. You then set BMC Server Automation UCS Manager server properties to specify that username and password, thus enabling communication between BMC Server Automation and the UCS systems.
