About this task

Credentials are checked out for a time limit. Before the checked-out time expires, you must check them back in the vault. You can check in multiple credentials at one time.

To check in the credentials or credential pools, complete these steps:

Procedure

  1. Log in to the self-service console.
  2. On the Home page, click Check in Credential. The Check in Credential page displays. It lists the credentials and credential pools that you have checked out.
  3. Select each box before the credential or credential pool that you want to check in. Or, select the Select All box to check in all credentials and credential pools.
  4. Click Check in to start the checkin process. The Checkin Confirmation page displays.
    Note: If the credentials that you are checking in are not linked to an account, the credential password is not changed at checkin even if the default configuration settings specify that Change password upon checkin is enabled.
  5. Click Submit to complete the checkin process. Or, choose one of the other options:
    • Click Cancel to cancel the checkin process and go back to the home page.
    • Click Back to go back to the Check in Credential page.

What to do next

Use the user ID and password that you checked in to log on to the application that you want to use.
