You can modify the credentials required to connect to the source machine. For example, you can change the user name of the Administrator account.

Before you make any changes, you must first make sure that any containers tethered to the source machine are undocked then log out of the current Windows session. You can then log back in and change the credentials.

As a best practice, always test the connection to the remote machine by clicking the Test Connection button when you make changes to a container that has Tether enabled. If Tether is not successful, you will not be able to dock the container.

To Modify Credentials to Connect to the Source Machine

1. Select a container, and then click the Tether tab.

2. If required, click the Use Tether check box to enable Tether.

3. In the User Name field, type the user name that represents the local administrator account on the source machine.

4. In the Password field, type the password of the user you specified above.

5. To test the connection to the remote machine, click the Test Connection button. If credentials fail or pre-requisites have not been met for tethering, an error message is displayed. You can view the Audit Report in the installation directory or by clicking Audit Report on the Appliance Logs tab to determine what the problem is.

6. Click Save. The configuration information is saved to the credential file. You will not be able to use the configuration information later if you do not click Save.
