Verifying Managed Resource Accounts

The status of a managed resource account is used to identify whether the password of the account is correct. The password cannot be manually changed and can only be updated through account verification.

The managed resource accounts can be manually verified when they are added or automatically verified based on preset schedule.

Account verification is to verify connectivity by logging in to resources in the background. This process will not be recorded in the history sessions.
