Faddom requires credentials in order to perform Software And CVE Discovery and User Discovery. As part of this process, you can create credentials during setup. Once done, you can manage these, or independently add them by navigating to Settings > Manage Credentials > Add New Credentials.

For User Discovery, which requires Active Directory credentials, it is not possible to use Protected Accounts due to Microsoft restrictions, even if it is a Domain Administrator. (edited)


Here, you add the username, password, and server type. If you select Linux, you will also have the option to upload a PEM certificate for authentication.
