User Management


Adding Users to the Internal User Repository File

By default the System Management Hub will use the Internal User Repository File provided by the Software AG Security Infrastructure to authenticate users.

Note:
The installation process creates a default account with the username "Administrator" and the password "manage" that can be used to log in to System Management Hub and perform product administration.

The Internal User Repository File is a text file containing usernames and encrypted passwords, similar to the /etc/passwd file used on Unix systems.

The file is named users.txt and is located in the common/conf subdirectory of the Software AG installation directory.

To Display the Internal User Repository File

The currently defined users can be displayed as follows:

Defining Administrators in System Management Hub

During installation the default "Administrator" account is configured as the administrator for System Management Hub. The "Administrator" account is then defined as an administrator for Data Archiving for Adabas and Adabas System Coordinator during the Activation process.

Additional users that have been added to the Internal User Repository File can be configured as product administrators by right-clicking on the Administrators node and selecting the Add Administrator option.
