What is the difference between the CS-MARS user credentials entered in the New/Edit CS-MARS dialog box and in the login dialog box during events lookup?
A. The CS-MARS user name and password values that you enter or modify in the New/Edit CS-MARS Device dialog box is used by Security Manager server to communicate with CS-MARS and discover meta information, such as version of software running on the server and certificate details. These credentials are different from the user name and password that you enter in the Login to CS-MARS ip_address dialog box. The user name and password pair in the Login to CS-MARS ip_address dialog box comprise the credentials that Security Manager uses to authenticate with CS-MARS to look up events matching a policy rule, when you select the option to use CS-MARS credentials during the addition of CS-MARS to Security Manager. The CS-MARS user name and password values you enter in the events lookup login dialog box are saved in the Security Manager database until the client session times out, if you chose to allow saving of CS-MARS login credentials during events lookup.
