Validation failing - node xxxxx does not have credentials defined

[DavidGahring]

Attempting to add a new node with the winrm template (as outlined), but the job fails with the subject error message. How is one to define the Adminstrator credentials for a node that does not exist yet? Excerpt of full message text from the log follows:

2023/06/29 00:41:31 ERROR #26 VLD29004131402 Node {host_name_omitted} does not have credentials defined. For releases 10.11 and above, use ADMINISTRATOR or custom credentials alias having secure non-default password. For older releases, use DEFAULT_ADMINISTRATOR or custom credentials alias.

Any guidance on how to get this working would be appreciated. I'm currently testing with 10.15.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi David,
You are right, this template will not work with the validations we added in 10.15. We will fix the readme.
You can setup SSH on Windows and use https://github.com/SoftwareAG/sagdevops-templates/tree/master/templates/sag-spm-boot-ssh.
Here is a snippet from the documentation.

Ensure that the UNIX or Windows operating system on the target machine has a Secure Shell (SSH) server running and the system is configured for remote access with the user account for the Software AG products. You must use Cygwin to configure OpenSSH on Windows operating systems. For information about how to install Cygwin, go to https://cygwin.com/install.html or follow the instructions in the Using Cygwin to Configure OpenSSH When Installing Platform Manager on a Remote Windows Machine article located on the TECHcommunity.
