+# Command Central Basic Outbound Credentials
+
+Use this template to configure basic outbound credentials for Command Central.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Supported Software AG releases
+
+* Command Central 10.1 and higher
+
+### Supported platforms
+
+All supported Windows and UNIX platforms.
+
+## Running as a standalone composite template
+
+To configure basic outbound credentials for Command Central with username "Administrator", password "manage", and credentials key alias "administrator":
+
+```bash
+sagcc exec templates composite apply sag-cc-creds \
+  credentials.username=Administrator \
+  credentials.password=manage \
+  credentials.key=administrator \
+  --sync-job --wait 360
+```
+
+> IMPORTANT: If you use Command Central 10.1 you have to monitor the job completion with a separate command, instead of the `--sync-job` option::
+
+```bash
+sagcc list jobmanager jobs <jobIdFromAboveCommand> --wait 360 -e DONE
+```
