How to Set Credentials for a User Mapping

Use the setcredentials command to set the credentials for a user to access a specific application.

This command does not display the password as you type it.

If the user mapping already exists, this command sets the credentials for the existing mapping. If you have not created the user mapping, the SSO system prompts you for the user ID for the application.
