EM 13c: How to Determine the Credential Attributes Needed to Modify Exadata-related EM Named Credentials using emcli ? (Doc ID 2495041.1)

Last updated on AUGUST 19, 2022

Applies to:

Goal

 Exadata password change scripts will also automate changing the passwords for the named credentials on the Enterporise Manager (EM) 13.2.2 Cloud Control side. 
The resulting problem: for the attributes part, HostPassword works for the Compute Node Host:

./emcli modify_named_credential -cred_name=NC_EXA_DB_HOST_ROOT -attributes='HostUserName:root;HostPassword:'
Credential updated.

However, the other Linux servers/switches cannot be changed as easily. Changing the (Storage) Cell Server, ILOM, and IB Switch
passwords, the "HostUserName" and "HostPassword" attributes cannot be specified, returning this error:

Error occurred: Invalid credential column name HostUserName

What would be the correct attribute names to change the password for these named credentials?:

./emcli modify_named_credential -cred_name=NC_EXA_CELL_HOST_ROOT -attributes='<?>Name:root;<?>Password:'
./emcli modify_named_credential -cred_name=EXADATA_ILOM_ROOT -attributes='<?>UserName:root;<?>Password:'
