Amending/Updating Cred Entry

AshleighRobson — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 15:14:00 GMT

Hello all,

I've been asked to update an old process of ours which resets and maintains the agent desktop log ins for the digital workers as we now work in a different way.

What I intend it to do is run on a schedule every Sunday morning.

It will gather the machines credential (used to log on to the windows machine, stored in the credential manager)
Check its own credential is valid and that it does not expire within the next 14 days (they currently last for 365 before needing a password change).
If valid, and it does not expire within 2 weeks it will go to END
Otherwise, it will then need to reset the password
Update the vault accordingly with the new expiry date and password

If the credential requires updating I aim to use the existing code base to manipulate and change the passwords. But what I am asking is, can Blue Prism update the fields boxed in red in the attached image. If so, how do I go about doing that? Is it fairly simple?

Thanks for any help

Hello,

further context....

I will be using the basic VBO object "Credentials" for this piece. Is there a better version available.. or will this be enough to complete this task?

The Credentials object should do it, either with the 'Generate and Set action', or with 'Set' if you want to set a specific password.
