Configuring the Basics after Installation
With authentication set up, the next step is configuring the organizations and credentials inside the Automation controller. The organization represents how everything is organized. Everything from job templates to inventories is categorized by which organization they belong to. Within organizations are credentials, which are where secret variables are stored. Finally, once something is created in the controller, how do you get it out or, a better question, how is it best to manage organizations, credentials, and collections?
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- A dashboard introduction
- Creating organizations – the root of all objects in the controller
- Using credential types and credentials
- Importing and exporting objects in the controller
