Adding or modifying user information in registry

After you add or delete a user in Dashboard Designer tool, you must also update the basic-registry.xml file to include or delete a username and password of that user.

Complete the following steps to add username and password to the basic-registry.xml file:

1. Encrypt the password.
2. As a root user, open the basic-registry.xml file from the following location:

   
   cd $install_dir/wlp/usr/servers/prdauth
   vi basic-registry.xml

   Where, install_dir is the directory where you installed the application. However, during installation, if you do not specify a different installation location, then by default the application is installed in /opt/icabi folder.

3. Add, modify, or delete the user and password entry in basic-registry.xml file as follows:
   1. Add a username and its encrypted password entry within the <basicRegistry> element as follows:

      
      <server description="External Datasource Configuration">
      <!--
      	Configure users for application according to the following examples.
      
      	**** OnPrem Mode ****
      		<user name="xxxx" password="xxxx"/>
      	Example : 
      		<user name="smadmin" password="{aes}AD6y8I0nmEEKnH2c2BApoirqB99Ko+8ePOR2NHYboa3V" />
      
      	**** Multitenant Mode ****	
      		<user name="xxxx@xxx" password="xxxx"/>
      	Example:
      		<user name="smadmin@tenant_name" password="{aes}AD6y8I0nmEEKnH2c2BApoirqB99Ko+8ePOR2NHYboa3V"/>
      	
      	Note : User need to wrap all the users within <basicRegistery></basicRegistery> tag.
      
      -->
      	<basicRegistry id="basic" ignoreCaseForAuthentication="true" realm="admin">
               <user name="smadmin" password="{aes}ANA78js6sPRl+70O/y6YmLyW3pWmyqRZVfygbJcBQLLy" />
               <user name="scheduler" password="{aes}ANRncLTFenxjoo8o42//QiffHwUAGqLLagQqKcEOSn8/" />
               <user name="engine" password="{aes}AMJc3nGPAKfd0Oj2QQXAv5u1CblG7Q8+HiF+duibQnt5" />
      	</basicRegistry>	
      </server>
       

      Note: If the ignoreCaseForAuthentication is set to true, the case-insensitive username can be used to log in to the application.
   2. Optional: Modify an existing username or password from within the basicRegistry element in basic-registry.xml.
   3. Optional: Delete an existing username or password entry from the basicRegistry element in basic-registry.xml.
      Note: When you delete a Dashboard Designer tool or Engine user from the user interface, make sure to delete the user entry from the basic-registry.xml file also.
4. Save the basic-registry.xml file.
