Creating Linux credentials for Discovery Fundamentals on Demand training

kg4ult — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 15:10:35 GMT

I am currently working on the Discovery Fundamentals on Demand training. I was able to complete the Windows credential validation. However, when it comes to the Linux credentials i am told i need to now use some other form for creating said credential but i do not see where exactly. Ive read the documents referenced in the hyperlink in the banner of the training module. But none of these show exactly what i need to enter for the SSH Key etc.

I need help because without these i cannot complete this training in its entirety.

Hello @kg4ult ,

All I can suggest is to try changing the user name to 'administrator' instead of 'workgroup\administrator'. Else, submit a Case on the Servicenow University, stating the problem.

credentials are:

Windows Credential:

Type: Windows Credentials

Name: Windows Servers

User name: itomadmin

Password: Disco2learn4fun@1!

Save and then Test the credential against: 192.168.16.11

SSH Credential:

Type: SSH Credential

Name: Linux Servers

User name: itomadmin

Password: LinuxDisco4Fun@1!

Save and then Test the credential against: 192.168.16.12

If my response helped mark as helpful and accept the solution

The issue is its prompting me with a banner at the top of the module stating "Use SSH private key credentials for improved security instead of using SSH password credentials. See SSH Credentials for more information on SSH private key credentials."
