Configuring default account credentials

An installation of AS4 Microservice includes two default user accounts: a master account administrator account (maccountadmin) and a system administrator account (sysadmin).

About this task

The default master account administrator (maccountadmin) can create objects such as user profiles and access all system functions. The default system administrator (sysadmin) can add a user account and assign it to a user group to confer the appropriate permissions for it; configure thread pools to optimize task execution; manage message queues; and other systems management tasks.

To ensure software security, you must change the password for both of the default user accounts immediately after you install the application.

The default password for both users is password. Secure password policies can include the following specifications:

  • Minimum and maximum password length
  • Requiring lowercase, uppercase, and special (non-alphanumeric) characters in the password
  • Excluding lowercase, uppercase, and special characters in the password (for example, the admonition to not repeat the user name in the password)
Default account Permissions Default credentials
MACCOUNTADMIN (Master Account Administrator) Members of this account can work with Master Account Administrators, Master Account Users, and Master Account Payload groups. The System Administrator account has different permissions from the Master Account Administrator account. Therefore, the user profiles that are created by the System Administrator have different permissions than those profiles created by the Master Account administrator.

Additionally, MasterAccountSecurity role is supported in the master account administrator group. Users with MasterAccountSecurity role can create, read, update, and delete user groups under the master account administrator group.

MasterAccountSecurity is not supported until you add a user group and assign the MasterAccountSecurity role, and then add user profiles to that group.
  • User name - maccountadmin
  • Password - password
Note: To ensure that your system is secure, you must change the default credentials after installation.
SYSADMIN (System Administrator)

Members of this account can work with System Administrators and System Users groups. The System Administrator account has different permissions from the Master Account Administrator account. Therefore, the user profiles that are created by the System Administrator have different permissions than those profiles created by the Master Account administrator.

Additionally, SystemSecurity role is supported in the system administrator group. Users with SystemSecurity role can create, read, update, and delete user groups under the system administrator group.

SystemSecurity is not supported until you add a user group and assign the SystemSecurity role, and then add user profiles to that group.
  • User name - sysadmin
  • Password - password
Note: To ensure that your system is secure, you must change the default credentials after installation.
