Overview

The Credential Store service is a centralized space where you can store your public and private cloud credentials for your Virtual Machine (VM.) You can directly use your credentials on the credential store to provision VMs using Blueprints or Free-form wizard.

Configure your Credential Store

The HCP portal supports two types of credential stores:

• https://cloudsphere.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HK/pages/50824021/Configure+Credential+Store#Generate-Key-Pair : create a Key-Pair using the HCP Portal and use it while provisioning VMs.

• https://cloudsphere.atlassian.net/wiki/x/kQYGAw: save your Username and encrypted Password.

Generate Key-Pair

You can generate a Key-Pair Credential on the HyperCloud^TM Platform (HCP) using the Credential Store feature. Creating a credential store lets you authorize all your resources in one go. You can generate key-pairs for:

• Public access: anyone with a public access key-pair can authorize your resources.
