Changing the Optimize Authentication Credentials
 
Adding New Optimize Credentials
Optimize provides default authentication credentials for services, such as the Optimize Deployer Service that enables you to deploy Optimize assets, and the pub.optimize.mashzone.adapter:retrieveData service from the WmOptimize package that enables you to retrieve data from the Analytic Engine and display it in Software AG MashZone. You can change these credentials, if desired, using the following procedure.
Note:
When you first change these credentials, the new password is not encrypted; however, once the Analytic Engine is restarted, the password is encrypted. It is advisable that you keep a record of the credentials should you need to refresh your memory of them later.
*To change the Optimize authentication credentials
1. Shut down the Analytic Engine.
2. Locate and open the Software AG_directory/optimize/analysis/conf/security/glue/acl.xml file using an appropriate text editor.
3. Locate the <name> attribute in the acl.xml file for the desired service and edit it as appropriate. As a reference, the default settings are shown in the following example.
<acl>
<user>
<name>Administrator</name>
<password>GlueRealmPasswordHandle::0</password>
<role>DeployAdministrator</role>
<role>DataAccessAdministrator</role>
</user>
</acl>
4. Locate the <password> attribute in the acl.xml file and edit it as desired.
5. Save and close the acl.xml file. Be sure to make note of your user name and password settings.
6. Start the Analytic Engine.
