1.2 PTM Server

PlateSpin Transformation Manager Server software is automatically installed on the PlateSpin Transformation Manager Appliance when you deploy the appliance.

During the Appliance deployment, you will set up a System Administrator account for the PTM server and specify passwords for the local users of the Appliance. See Table 1-4 for information about these default users.

Table 1-4 PTM Default Users

Default Users	Description
vaadmin user password	The vaadmin user is a default local Appliance administrator user with Linux root-level trans mgr. Use the vaadmin credentials to log in to the Appliance Management Console.
root user password	The root user is the default Linux administrator user for the PTM virtual machine. Use the root user credentials if you need to log in directly to the VM through the VMware vSphere VM console or through SSH to a Linux console. Technical Support might instruct you to access the Linux console on the Appliance with the root credentials.
PTM System Administrator	The System Administrator user has global permissions throughout the PTM Web Interface. During the PTM configuration, specify a valid email address as the user name for this account, then specify a secure password. Use the System Administrator credentials to log in to the PTM Web Interface after the Appliance is up and running. You add other PTM users by using the Users tab in the Web Interface. See Users in the PTM 2019.5 Administrator Guide.
