Inherit username/password credentials in Python Script with Window Script Monitor in SAM

So, I'm unable to pass (to inherit) saved username/password credentials on a Python script in the Window Script Monitor section of an Application Monitor Template.

The only way my script will work is if I embed the username and password within the python script.

I want to know if this is a bug or can I resolved this in some way? Or is does this not work because I have NPM/SAM is running on a Windows machine?

This works: Embed Credentials

# These values will be interpolated by solarwinds prior to passing the script to python

HOSTNAME = "${IP}"

USERNAME = "user123"

PASSWORD = "pass123"

This doesn't: Inherit Credentials

HOSTNAME = "${IP}"

USERNAME = "${USER}"

PASSWORD = "${PASSWORD}"

I'm having the same problem with a PowerShell script. The ${USER} variable seems to work, but the ${PASSWORD} one doesn't though the admin guide seems to indicate it should.

Not sure if you are still experiencing the issue but I recently worked out how to do this after having the same issue myself. I have posted the solution below my question. Here

Hopefully, this is helpful
