set repository credentials

Post by AlexL »

Maybe I've overlooked something but how would I set credentials for existing repositories?

off the top of my head you would use Get-VBRServer to pull the one hosting the repo and there is a method in there to set it(.setcred() or something to that effect (Use "Get-VBRServer - Name "RepoServer" | gm" to get a list), I'm just powering up the lab and will provide a more detailed post soon :)

Forget to ask, what type of repo is it? (Win/Linux/CIFS)

If it was any other one I would have had the answer a while ago lol

Code: Select all

$repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name CIFS
$creds = New-Object -TypeName Veeam.Backup.Common.CCredentials -ArgumentList "testdomain\User","Password",0,1
$credentials = New-Object -Type Veeam.Backup.Model.CDbCredentialsInfo -ArgumentList $repo.ShareCredsId, $creds
$manager = [Veeam.Backup.DBManager.CDBManager]::Instance
$manager.Credentials.UpdateCredentials($credentials)

Hi Thomas,

Your code works BUT only for changing existing credentials, in my case I do not have credentials in place yet. So the checkbox also needs to be set.

Thank you very much for your quick replies and efforts so far.

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex, I can't seem to find how to do it, what's funny is I can't get credentials enabled at all when using Powershell with CIFS, the other types get there creds from the stored hosts(why I suggested Get-VBRServer in my first post) but CIFS seems to have me scratching my head as to how your suppose to enable it, as the Add-VBRBackupRepository seems more geared towards the Win/Linux ones and doesn't take a input for what we're trying to do. I'd advise you to open a support case as I might have missed something.

just a small idea. edit one of your repositories mannual with all neccesarry settings. then copy it with powershell and do the neccesarry changes. copy instead of creating a new one. maybe this is a workaround.
