2. Set the credentials in the following settings:
appilog.agent.Probe.BasicAuth.User=

 Note
The password uses encrypted text in the DataFlowProbe.properties file. You can use the getEncryptedKeyPassword()
method to get the encrypted text of the desired password . The getEncryptedKeyPassword() method is available on the
Data Flow Probe JMX console. For more information about how to use the getEncryptedKeyPassword() method, refer to
the Universal CMDB JMX Reference Guide.

3. Save the file.
