Disabling the default administrative user

Disabling the default administrative user

You can disable the default administrative user account to prevent any external authentication for security purposes. As a result, external users cannot use this account to access the MDM system. You must create and configure a non-default administrative user in MDM Hub.
  1. Create an administrative user in MDM Hub. Go to
    Users > Add User > New
    , create this new user account and select the
    Enable Administrator
     check box.
  2. Assign the user to the registered ORS. Use the
    Target Database
     tab if you want to assign it to multiple ORSs.
  3. To disable default administrative user account, connect to MDM Hub Master Database and run the following command:
    update c_repos_user set user_enabled_ind = 0 where rowid_user = 'INST.0 ' ;
    commit ;
  4. Assign this user for use by the
    Identity Service
     in the ActiveVOS Console.
    1. Go to
      <MDM Hub installation directory>/hub/server/bin
       folder.
    2. Open the
      build.properties
       file.
    3. Add the following property for the user name that you created:
      mdm.identity.user=<user name>
      .
    4. Save the file.
  5. Open a command prompt, and run the following script:
    • On Windows.
      <MDM Hub installation directory>\hub\server\postInstallSetup.bat
    • On UNIX.
      <MDM Hub installation directory>/hub/server/postInstallSetup.sh
  6. Restart the application server.
  7. Log into the ActiveVOS Console and update the password for this new user, added to
    Identity Service
    .
    1. On the
      Admin
      tab, go to
      Configure Services > Identity Service
      .
    2. On the
      Connection
       tab, in the
      Connection Settings
       section, specify and confirm the new password.
    3. Click
      Update
      .
    When you install a HotFix, the setting
    mdm.identity.user=<user name>
     will be removed from the
    build.properties
     file automatically. You must add this property manually. Open the
    build.properties
     file, add the property, and save the file. Run the
    postInstallSetup
     script. Restart the application server.
