Setting login information for the search server

You can set the user names and passwords that the search server uses to access the database server and the IBM OpenPages® with Watson™ global search service (Apache Solr). You can set the login information before you enable global search.

1. On the search server, open a command prompt.
2. To change the login information that the search server uses to login to the database, enter the following commands:

   On Microsoft Windows operating systems,

   cd <SEARCH_HOME>/OPSearch/opsearchtools/
   opsearchtool.cmd setdbuserpassword -username current-username -password "current-password" -newusername new-username -newpassword "new-password" 

   On Linux® operating systems,

   cd <SEARCH_HOME>/OPSearch/opsearchtools/
   ./opsearchtool.sh setdbuserpassword -username current-username -password 'current-password' -newusername new-username -newpassword 'new-password' 

   Table 1. Parameters to change the database login information

   Parameter	Description
   current-username	The database username The value is the username that you entered in the OpenPages installation app when you configured the search server.
   current-password	The password of the database user The value is the password that you entered in the OpenPages installation app when you configured the search server.
   new-username	The new database username
   new-password	The new password for the database user

   For example, the following command changes the password to dbNEWpassword, but keeps the same database username:

   opsearchtool.cmd setdbuserpassword -username dbuser -password "dbpassword" -newusername dbuser -newpassword "dbNEWpassword"

   The following command changes both the database username and the password:

   opsearchtool.cmd setdbuserpassword -username dbuser -password "dbpassword" -newusername dbNEWuser -newpassword "dbNEWpassword"

3. To change the login information for the global search service (Apache Solr), enter the following commands:

   On Microsoft Windows operating systems,

   cd <SEARCH_HOME>/OPSearch/opsearchtools/
   opsearchtool.cmd setsolruserpassword -newusername new-solr-username -newpassword new-solr-password

   On Linux operating systems,

   cd <SEARCH_HOME>/OPSearch/opsearchtools/
   ./opsearchtool.sh setsolruserpassword -newusername new-solr-username -newpassword new-solr-password

   Table 2. Parameters to change the global search service login information

   Parameter	Description
   new-solr-username	The new username for the Solr service The Solr user does not need to be an OpenPages user.
   new-solr-password	The new password for the Solr user

   Note: You do not need to provide the current username and password to change and encrypt the password for the global search service. The script uses the current login information of the database server for authentication before it allows the change. The default username and password is OpenPagesAdministrator / OpenPagesAdministrator.

   For example, the following command sets the username to solruser and the password to solrpassword:

   opsearchtool.cmd setsolruserpassword -username solruser -password solrpassword

4. Start the global search services.

5. If required, set up SSL for the Solr service.
