Changing Admin Password

Prerequisite

If the User that is used to connect to the LDAP server has read-only permissions, then create 'admin' user and 'administrator' group manually. By default, Fiorano Server tries to create admin/administrator for internal use.

To use a different User other than Admin/Anonymous to create internal server connections, the user credentials have to be changed in all the places where it is being used. Refer to the Editing configurations after changing Admin Password section that follows the section below.

Editing Admin Password

From eStudio

To change the Admin password from eStudio, log on to the Enterprise Server and perform the following actions:

1. Click the Users node under the Security section.

   Old password need not be provided for an Admin user.

Changing Admin password requires profile changes and server restart as explained in the Editing configurations after changing Admin Password section below.

From Dashboard

To change the Admin password from the dashboard, log on to the Fioano Web Console and perform the following actions:

1. Click the Users node under the Security section.
2. From the list of users, select the ADMIN user, and click the Change Password option.

3. In the Change Password dialog box, provide the new password and click OK.

Changing Admin password requires profile changes and server restart as explained in the section below.

Editing configurations after changing Admin Password

Administrator user credentials are used for authenticating MQ connections. So, if the Admin password is changed from the User Account as explained above, the same needs to be edited in the:

• FES/FPS Profile.
• CPS (Configuration Property Sheet) of those microservices which use Admin user credentials.

Sections below illustrate the configuration steps.

These steps must also be performed while migrating from an earlier version that consists of modified user accounts such as changing the password for admin and deleting an anonymous user.

Changes to the FES profile

1. Load FES profile in eStudio Profile Management perspective.
2. Stop the FES server.
3. Navigate to Fiorano > Esb > Transport > FESTransportManager > MQProvider
4. Change the password corresponding to admin user.
5. Save the profiles, start FES and login to Fiorano eStudio with the new password.

Changes to the Peer Profile

1. Load FPS profile in eStudio Profile Management perspective.
2. Stop the FPS server.
3. Navigate to Fiorano > Esb > Peer > Transport > FPSTransportManager > EnterpriseServer
4. Change the username and password to use admin user credentials replacing the anonymous user credentials which are present by default.

5. Save the profiles, start FPS and login to Fiorano eStudio with the new password.

Changes to the Component configuration

Few microservices use Anonymous user credentials to perform lookups and to create admin connections. These credentials must be changed to reflect the changes to admin/anonymous users if any.

Examples

Stub microservices

1. Open the Stub CPS (Configuration Property Sheet) and go to FES Connection Configuration.
2. Under the Component Configuration section in the FES Connection Configuration dialog box, change the username and password accordingly.

3. Save and Close and run the microservice.

   

   Using the named configuration helps avoid changes in multiple places.

Exception Listener

1. Open the CPS and go to JNDI details section.
2. Under the Component Configuration section in the JNDI details dialog box, change the JNDI username and password.

3. Go to FES Connection Configuration.
4. Under the Component Configuration section in the FES Connection Configuration dialog box, change the username and password accordingly.

JMS Components

1. Open the CPS and go to JNDI Configuration section.
2. Under the Component Configuration section in the JNDI Configuration dialog box, change the JNDI username and password.
