From the MyAccount menu select Get Delegated Credential, this will launch the Get Delegated Credential window. At this point UI will go out and discover all the credentials that have been delegated to you by other parties.
From the table select the credential you wish to obtain and click the Obtain Credential, this will obtain the delegated credential and launch the proxy manager window with the delegated credential. The Proxy Manager window allows the management of grid proxies or grid credentials. button. This will obtain the requested credential and launch the Credential Manager.
