TIP Know your CA's requirements for credentials. Remember that you are adding credentials as is. Always validate the Credential object. The best way to check is to create a CA Template in the UI and apply your credential. If an error occurs, correct the credential, and retry.

Name: Username, Type:string and Value that is the account name.
