hello - can anyone help me with what we need to do to create a credential to access our nutanix cluster prism central so we can leverage this collection?

This should achievable with the custom credential types feature, see the docs on how to set one up [https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/credential\_types.html#custom-credential-types](https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/credential_types.html#custom-credential-types)

let us know if you run into trouble getting it configured

Yes thanks that was what i needed and used extra\_vars for my injectors:

Inputs:  
fields:

- id: nutanix\_host  
type: string  
label: Nutanix Host IP
- id: nutanix\_username  
type: string  
label: Username
- id: nutanix\_password  
type: string  
label: Password  
secret: true  
required:
- nutanix\_host
- nutanix\_username
- nutanix\_password

Injectors:  
extra\_vars:  
nutanix\_host: ‘{{ nutanix\_host }}’  
nutanix\_password: ‘{{ nutanix\_password }}’  
nutanix\_username: ‘{{ nutanix\_username }}’

this works with the following playbook settings:
