Defining Credentials to Run Zerto Cmdlets
To run the Zerto cmdlets you must specify a username and password that is valid for the Zerto Virtual Manager, against which the command is run.
You specify usernames and passwords in the Zerto installation folder on the machine with the Zerto Virtual Manager against which the cmdlet action is performed, in the users.txt file. You specify the username followed by a tab as a separator and then the SHA-1 hash of the password.
| Note: | After making any changes to the users.txt file, you do not have to restart the Zerto Virtual Manager service. |
The SHA-1 hash for password is 5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8.
| Note: | On any Linux machine you can use the sha1sum command to generate the SHA-1 hash of a password, for example: root@mymachine:~# echo -n mypassword | sha1sum 91dfd9ddb4198affc5c194cd8ce6d338fde470e2 - |
