Hi Sanjib,

1) 
Open the command prompt and navigate to the blue prism root folder 
(You may need to open it as an Administrator)
 
2) 
AutomateC.exe /createcredential <credname> <username> <password> [/description <string>] [/expirydate <yyyyMMdd>] [/invalid <flag>] [/credentialtype <string>]

3)
You can find documentation in the Blue Prism knowledge base site.
or 
AutomateC.exe options
 
AutomateC.exe is a command-line tool used to script activities that are possible in the Blue Prism Interactive Client. To launch the /help, open a command prompt, and run these two commands:
cd /d "C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate"
AutomateC.exe /help

There's no feature to bulk create credentials, so you would need to use a loop and call /createcredential or /updatecredential for each credential that you need to create/update. I think it takes a second or two per credential if I remember right so you'd be able to create between 30-60 per minute. That estimate may be off. I'm just giving you a guess because if you're creating 500 at once, plan to use several minutes to create them all.

Hi Sanjib,

The user name and password are the one you use to access to the Blue Prism Login screen for that particular database connection.

i am using the below command line
AutomateC.exe /createcredential "Bearer Test Credential" admin "Test_Password" /credentialtype "BearerToken" /description "Created with AutomateC" /expirydate 20200120

Error: You must supply valid login details for that action, not sure where is the issue. With the same cred i am able to login to Bp.

Do i need any additional setup ?

Hi @SANJIBSINHA , Were you able to fix the above issue "Error: You must supply valid login details for that action"?

I'm also facing the same issue when creating EV using command line.
