Need Help on installing the UF credential package through deployment server

I am using splunk cloud 8.2 version and trying to collect logs from Domain controllers by installing UF's on them.

I have Deployment server set up to manage those Uf's and here i have the doubt.

Inorder to connect Uf's with splunk cloud instance we need to install the UF credential package on each of the UF's. So can i install it with the help of Deployment server? so that i dont have to install it manually by going to each of the UF's. 

I would really appreciate if someone can guide me in this.

Thanks in advance !

Also forgot to mention that i already have the UF credential  installed as app in my deployment-apps folder of my deployment server, so can't i deploy the same app to all of my UF's ? so that they can start sending logs to my splunk cloud instance.

Thanks!

In the 5th step of the Doc it is asking for UF username and password

  1. Install the credentials package by running the following command:
    splunk install app <full path to splunkclouduf.spl> -auth <username>:<password>
    where <full path to splunkclouduf.spl> is the path to the directory where the splunkclouduf.spl file is located and <username>:<password> are the username and password of an existing admin account on the universal forwarder.

So that means i have to install the UF credentials everytime i install a new UF on DC becoz password would be different for Uf's.

Please guide.
