vSphere Credential Store Subroutine Reference The ViCredStore package includes the following subroutines. init get_password add_password remove_password clear_passwords get_hosts get_usernames close initInitializes the credential store. Call this subroutine once, before any of the other credential store subroutines. The credential store is not created until your program calls add_password. get_passwordRetrieves the password for a specified server and user name. add_passwordCreates a credential store file if none exists and stores the password for a given server and user name. remove_passwordRemoves the password for a given server and user name. If no password exists, this method has no effect. clear_passwordsRemoves all passwords. get_hostsReturns a list of all servers that have entries in the credential store. get_usernamesFor a given server, returns all user names that have an associated password stored in the credential store. closeCloses the credential store, and frees all resources associated with it. If you want to run additional credential store subroutines, you must run init again to reinitialize the credential store. Parent topic: Credential Store Perl Library
