Default and Custom Passwords for Product Administrator Users

When installing products using Command Central version 10.11 or higher, the initial password for the default administrator user of the product depends on the release version of the product.

By default, Command Central installs a product with version 10.11 or higher using the ADMINISTRATOR credentials alias. Note that the ADMINISTRATOR credentials alias does not have a default password. Before you install products using Command Central, you must set the password for the ADMINISTRATOR credentials alias. Navigate to Environments > ALL > Instances > CCE > Command Central Server > Configuration > Credentials> ADMINISTRATOR and enter a strong password. You can also add one or more custom credentials aliases for the default administrator users of the products you are installing and specify the custom credentials alias to use when installing a product. Software AG recommends that you set a strong password for each product administrator user. For information about adding credentials aliases, see Create Credentials Aliases.

Important:
If you specify a custom credentials alias, Command Central will use the provided password for the default administrator user of the product and ignore the username value of the credentials alias. For example, if you specify a credentials alias that has a username value "my-user" and a password value "my-admin-password" and the default administrator user for the product you are installing is "sysadmin", then Command Central will use the password "my-admin-password" for the "sysadmin" user when installing the product.

When Command Central installs a product with version 10.7 or lower, Command Central sets the default administrator user password for that product. Software AG recommends that you change the default password as soon as possible following the instructions in Administering Software AG Products Using Command Central for the required product.
