Connection Profiles help you define connection credentials for hosts by:

• Adding a new connection profile that associates selected hosts with iDRAC and OMSAAgent credentials
• Displaying or editing a current connection profile
• Deleting a connection profile
• Refreshing connection profile list to reflect changes in the vCenter

Caution: Passwords used in iDRAC and OMSAAgent credentials must not exceed 31 characters.

You can Add a New Profile to the connection profile list.
