Error while deploying a management plug-in

Question

Hi
I have installed OEM on windows XP machine and now i am trying to deploy a sample plug-in. During the deployment process, i got an error saying that "The preferred credentials are not set for 10.200.213.226:3872". I went to Preferences -> Prefered Credentials ->Set Credentials for Agent. I have provided SYSMAN as username and the curresponding password. But still the deployment failed with an error saying "The agent did not recognize the supplied credentials". I referred to the below post in the forum.
Re: Error message: The agent did not recognize the supplied credentials
Then i tried to provide the windows machine user name and password. But it didnt work.
Can anybody please clarify
1. What credentials i need to set for agent.?
2.Only Default Credentails need to set?
3. Do i need to set the credentials for Host also? If yes, there are two users namely normal user & privileged user. What are those?
Any help is highly appreciable.

Answer 1

Agent credentials are the only ones you need to set for an MP deploy, but you'll want those agent credentials to be your windows machine username and password (not SYSMAN).
To test the agent credentials, create an OS command job against the agent (which does an echo or an ls). If it succeeds without credentials issues, the MP deploy should work since it uses those same credentials. It's just easier to go through creating a job than trying to deploy an MP...
