Command Central 10.5 | Before Installing Products | Before Creating Repositories
 
Before Creating Repositories
*To connect to product, fix, or asset repositories from Command Central, you must supply the appropriate credentials. Create aliases for credentials as explained below.
1. Go to Empower and log on with the user name and password from the installation email sent to you by Software AG. Then go to Products & Documentation > Download Products > Software Downloads > Software Download Center. This will display the Software AG product license agreement for first time users. If you accept, you will be able to connect to the Software AG Software Download Center.
2. Go to Environments > ALL > Instances > CCE > Command Central Server > Configuration > Credentials, click the plus icon.
3. The following table describes the steps to follow to create aliases for credentials to use to connect to repositories.
Repository Type
Steps
Software AG product and fix repositories
Click Username and password and create an alias for your Empower user name and password.
If you want additional users to be able to connect to Software AG product and fix repositories, follow these steps:
a. Go to Products & Documentation > Download Products > Software Downloads.
b. Click the link for the region or regions to which the additional users will need to connect.
c. In the email that displays, list the users by their company email addresses. Software AG will send each of those users an email containing Empower credentials with the necessary privileges.
d. Get the credentials from each of these users, click Username and password, and create an alias for each user name and password.
e. Ask the users to perform step 1, above.
Mirror repositories that were created on other Command Centrals and that are hosted on remote Platform Managers
Click Username and password and create an alias for the user name and password that can access the remote Platform Manager.
Git asset repositories
Click Username and password and create an alias for a Git user name and password (HTTP/S repository URL), or click SSH private key and create and alias for SSH credentials for accessing Git (SSH repository URL).
*If you want to connect to mirror repositories using SSL, the repositories must be hosted on a 10.3 or higher Platform Manager, so you must use Command Central 10.3 or higher. Suppose you have Software AG 9.12 products. You could upgrade to this (latest) release of Command Central. You could then create mirror repositories in the Command Central installation (which always includes a local Platform Manager), or you can install Platform Manager on another machine and create mirror repositories in that installation.
