## Domain Properties

The Domain Properties dialog box allows you to modify how BEA Guardian accesses a target domain. In particular, you can change:

- The username and password Guardian uses to access the domain
- Whether to remember the username and password
- Whether to use a proxy server to access the domain

There are two different ways to open the Domain Properties dialog box:

- Select a domain in the Active Domain Table and click the Modify Domain button.
- Right-click a domain in the Domain Explorer and select Modify Domain.
Figure 4-42 Domain Properties Dialog Box

The Domain Properties dialog box includes the following components:

- The domain name, read only
- The URL of the domain's Administration Server, read only
- The username and password of an administrator account on the domain

Please note that changing the username and password in Guardian does not change the username and password on the domain.

- Whether to remember the username and password

If selected, the username and password are encrypted and stored on disk. Then, whenever you evaluate, inventory, modify, or open an admin console to the domain, or submit a support case, the domain's username and password are filled in automatically. Otherwise, you have to enter them for each operation that accesses the domain.

- Whether to use a proxy server to access the domain

If selected, you must select the name of the proxy server from the drop down list. If there are no proxy servers in the drop down list, the Enable proxy connection check box is disabled. To add a proxy server, select Proxy from the Preferences page. Please note that in order to use a proxy server, you must also manually deploy the Guardian Agent onto the target domain.
