Changing the password of the EDAA account

The Smarts EDAA logs into domains using the EDAA account . This account has the same access privileges as the admin account as well as the ability to perform actions on behalf of other users. To secure this account, change its default password, which is changeme.

Procedure

1. In the install directory of each domain server accessed by Smarts EDAA, type sm_edit conf/serverConnect.conf
   By default, only presentation SAM is exposed.
2. In the serverConnect.conf file, change the encrypted default password for the _edaa account.
   For example, you can change this password:

   *:_edaa:<E-1.0>94C355DA7E0EB7AADE32F80F201F70C5CCA88288443EE23CB5249ACD10C773E1:Impersonate

   to the new password:

   *:_edaa:<new_password>:Impersonate
   

   When you save the serverConnect.conf file, sm_edit encrypts the new password.
3. In the install directory of the SAM server hosting the Smarts EDAA, type sm_edit conf/edaaClientConnect.conf
4. In the edaaClientConnect file, change the encrypted default password for the _edaa account.
   For example, you can change this password:

   *:*:_edaa:<E-1.0>94C355DA7E0EB7AADE32F80F201F70C5CCA88288443EE23CB5249ACD10C773E1

   to the new password:

   *:*:_edaa:<new_password>
   

   When you save the edaaClientConnect file, sm_edit encrypts the new password.
5. Stop the Smarts Tomcat hosting the Smarts EDAA by typing bin/sm_service stop smarts-tomcat.
6. Restart the Smarts Tomcat hosting the Smarts EDAA by typing bin/sm_service start smarts-tomcat.
7. Verify that the Smarts EDAA can access each domain.
