After installing Enterprise Developer or
Enterprise Server, you should retrieve the administration credentials that were generated at installation time from the vault. You will need
these for most
Enterprise Server activities.
Note: Micro Focus recommends you make a note of the administration username and password, and then delete them from the vault and/or change
the password, as described below.
To retrieve the administration credentials:
- You will need an interactive session (Windows command prompt, UNIX/Linux shell) on the target system. Remember that the installer
creates a unique password for each product installation.
- Set your session up with the product environment. Open a
on Windows, or source the cobsetenv script on UNIX. On UNIX, you may need to be running as either the
Enterprise Server account (as specified when installing the product) or root, in order to have read access to the vault.
- Run
mfsecretsadmin read microfocus/temp/admin. You should receive output similar to:
{"mfUser":"SYSAD", "mfPassword":"abcd1234"}
The username will always be
SYSAD. Note down the generated password.
- Connect a browser to
ESCWA using
http://hostname:10086, where hostname is localhost if you are running on the same system as
ESCWA, or the remote system's hostname otherwise. You will be prompted to sign on. Enter the username and password from step 3
to confirm they work.
You change the password using the following options:
- Before you log on to
ESCWA, on the splash screen, click
Change Password and complete the login details, confirm the new password and click
Submit.
- In
ESCWA, click
Security from the menu bar. In the navigation panel, expand
ESCWA Configuration and then expand your security manager, then click
Users. In the
SYSAD row, click the
Edit icon. This opens the
Properties dialog box. Type a new password and then click
Save.
- Optional: Delete the admin credentials from the vault using this command:
mfsecretsadmin write -overwrite microfocus/temp/admin
Note: If you delete the SYSAD user or change the password generated for it by the installer in the default VSAM Security Manager,
you need to provide new sufficiently authorized credentials for the Server Explorer connection.
- Optional: Disable, delete, or change the password of the test user accounts
SAFU,
mf_mdsa, and
SAFUIMS. These accounts exist for backward compatibility and are used by some tutorials, but have a known password and so entail
a certain amount of risk. You can modify or remove the accounts using
ESCWA's
Security page, by selecting the security manager under
ESCWA Security Configuration in the navigation pane.
- Optional: Disable, delete, or change the passwords of the system accounts
mf_cs and
mf_dep. See
User accounts in the Default Enterprise Server Security Configuration for more information.
Alternatively, you can disable the Default Enterprise Server Security configuration. You can do this at any time. See
To Disable the Default Enterprise Server Security Configuration for more information.
