Can we get the credential of UCSM through UCS Central?

I have configured multiple UCSM with UCS Central. I want credential of each UCSM through UCS Central.

Please let me know, how to do that

Explain what you mean by "you want UCS credentials".  Do you want UCS Central to prompt you to enter credentials when you launch UCSM from Central? or are you asking for UCS Central to display the credentials for UCSM authentication?

I am asking for UCS Central to display the credentials for UCSM authentication (User Name and Password)?

is there a way to get UCSM authentication details through UCS Central?

Certainly not possible.  That would be a massive security risk. That would be comparable to vCenter giving you the "root" account password for each ESX server.  UCS central uses a shared secret along with admin credentials on the UCS domain for registration.  After that, the credentials are cached securely by UCS Central.  When UCSM is launched from Central, the authentication details are secured and encrypted.

What's the use-case for required UCS Central to display UCSM domain credentials?
