# metalcloud-cli server-default-credentials

Manage server default credentials and authentication settings

## Synopsis

Manage server default credentials and authentication settings for bare metal servers.

Server default credentials store authentication information (username, password) and optional
server metadata (rack location, inventory ID, UUID) that can be used during server provisioning
and management operations. These credentials are encrypted and stored securely.

Available commands:
  list           List all server default credentials
  get            Get detailed information about specific credentials
  get-credentials Retrieve unencrypted password for credentials
  create         Create new server default credentials
  delete         Delete existing server default credentials

Examples:
  ## List all server default credentials
  metalcloud-cli server-default-credentials list

  ## Get specific credentials information
  metalcloud-cli server-default-credentials get 123

  ## Create credentials with required fields only
  metalcloud-cli sdc create --site-id 1 --serial "ABC123" --mac "00:11:22:33:44:55" --username "admin" --password "secret"
