Convert to Managed VM

[yingshuang]

Hello Expert,

Is Username/Password mandatory when converting VM to Managed VM, if choosing “Not Agent Install”?

If not, when we have to input Username and Password?

thank you.

With no agent, credentials would still be required for workflow/task execution against the VM when it has been converted to an instance.

The link below explains, the added value the agent provides as well as what is required re SSH credentials and connectivity where the agent is not installed.

Minimum you have to provide a username to submit the payload, but to @Ollie_Phillips 's point, you need valid creds to do day 2 operations with scripts.
