Description
The allowable difference between the clock of an Intel AMT device
and the timestamp of a received message. This setting is part of
the mechanism that is used to eliminate replay attacks.
The remote connection administrative credentials.
The user name is always "admin".
Select either Random Creation or Manual.
If Manual is selected, type the password and confirm the entry.
You must type a strong password.
See "About passwords used with Intel AMT"
This password becomes the administrative password in the Admin
ACL entry for all Intel AMT devices that are configured with this
profile.
Selecting Random Creation means that each Intel AMT device
is configured with a random password. The password for each
Intel AMT computer is stored in the Intel SCS database. Unless
you configure more administrative users on the ACL tab, you can
manage the computers from Notification Server only. In this case,
Notification Server pulls the administrative credentials from the
Intel SCS database every time you run an out-of-band task.
See "Setup and configuration profile: ACL tab"
Note: To use the credentials that are stored in Intel SCS, create
a connection profile with Intel AMT runtime credentials. Then
configure the task to use this connection profile.
For more information, view topics about using connection profiles
in the Symantec Management Platform Help.
See "About Intel AMT related credentials"
Type the new MEBx password that you want Intel SCS to set on
the devices that you initialize using the Remote Configuration
