# Updating Host Credentials

relies on a host's login credentials to connect and authenticate to the managed host. You specify these credentials when adding the host to for management. If these credentials ever change, the management link between and the host will be broken.

However, you can update the credentials uses to authenticate to a managed host, which will prevent the management link from being broken.

Updating host credentials on does not change the actual credentials on the managed host. You will need to change those on the host directly, either immediately before or immediately after performing this operation. Updating credentials will only update the credentials that uses to authenticate to the host.

To update host credentials:

1. Click Configuration Management > Bulk Operations.

2. Click the Host tab.

3. Select the host you want to update, click Update Credentials.

4. In Username and Password, enter the new credentials that will use to connect to the host.
5. Click Save.
