Administrative user password change during installation: My webMethods Server and Common Directory Services now support changing the password of the default administrative user (SysAdmin for My webMethods Server and Administrator for the Common Directory Services administration interfaces in Integration Server) during installation. All other administrative users are disabled by default. After logging in for the first time, the SysAdmin user must change the passwords for the remaining administrative users and enable login for their accounts.

SysAdmin password change at first login: The default login page for My webMethods Server is enhanced to include two additional fields for changing the sysadmin password when the option to require this change is selected during server installation.

Additional configuration options for Common Directory Services Administration in Integration Server: The Common Directory Services administration interfaces, available as part of the new Integration Server administration interface now include additional options such as DB JMS configuration, shared secrets generation, one-time password configuration, permissions management, calendar configuration and user data export.

Optimized container initialization and startup times: The initialization and startup times for My webMethods Server instances, running in Docker containers are optimized using various database procedure and component installation enhancements. My webMethods Server now uses an in-memory Derby database instance to perform bootstrapping activities for Docker containers and avoid network latency between the server and the production database. The new optimization mechanism can synchronize with all supported database types without additional manual configurations.

New additional JVM properties to control the optimized container startup, or enable startup optimization for on-premises installations: My webMethods Server now supports the mws.inmemory.init and sql.delay.threshold (container only) properties for enabling startup optimization and additional optimization control.
