3.Before the connection can be saved, at least the device host name and the service name must be specified.

4.Optionally, the preferred credentials used by this database can be selected. If this is left empty, RayVentory Scan Engine applies a special logic which is described in the advanced topics.

5.In the CAPABILITIES tab, it is possible to limit the capabilities of the edited database connection.

6.Press OK to save the change and close the window or Apply to immediately save them.

7.If any required field is not specified or is in the wrong format, a validation error is shown. Fix the issues indicated by the red error bar and press OK / Apply to apply the changes.

Note:

The URL for the connection to a vSphere / ESX SDK service endpoint usually has the following form: https://youresxhost/sdk.

The connection properties dialog that is being used to create and edit a vSphere / ESX connection features a Test connection... button that allows to test the connection (and the credentials in the credential store) immediately.
