By default, the Accounts utility connects to the local machine. This is most often the
simplest way to run the utility, but where that is not possible it can connect to remote
systems and manage credentials in their registries, if firewall rules are in place to
allow remote registry access.
- From the File menu, select the Connect option.
- In the Connect to Remote Target dialog box, enter the DNS name or the IP Address of the computer running the Acquire (as opposed to the computer where the Oracle instance, or vCenter, or WMI target, is located).
- Click OK.
- If the specified system can be connected to, the computer name will be displayed
in the bottom corner of the Acquire Accounts dialog box, and any existing
account details will be shown.
Note: Any account definitions created with versions of the Acquire Accounts utility earlier than version 8.50 will not be displayed.
