Client trust credentials

Trust credentials are required for VMware and Cisco UCS protection, as well as to enable push installation of agent software and agent updates. Procedures in this section are for applying credentials at the client level. For centralized credential procedures, see About credential management. To delete trust credentials, see To delete a credential. To determine whether push installation is supported for your client, see Agent push install requirements and Requirements for pushing agent updates.
