What must be configured along with applicative credentials to discover applications?

To effectively discover applications, host machine access credentials must be configured in conjunction with applicative credentials. This is essential because host machine access credentials facilitate discovery tools in gaining the necessary permissions to interact with the host where the applications are running.

When discovering applications, the process often involves accessing various layers of the system, including the underlying operating systems. Host machine access credentials allow the discovery tool to log into the servers that host the applications and gather information about them. This ensures that the discovery process can effectively identify and map the applications running on those machines.

While other credentials, such as network credentials or cloud service provider credentials, can play a role in the discovery process, they are not sufficient on their own for application discovery without host machine access credentials. These credentials provide the critical link to the environment where the applications reside, making accurate and comprehensive discovery possible.
