Defining default credentials

You can define a default user name and password for the suite to map to each user's engine tier operating system user credentials.

Before you begin

You must have suite administrator authority or IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® and IBM InfoSphere QualityStage® administrator authority.

About this task

The default credentials are used for any users who do not have their own credential mappings. If you do not want users who do not have mapped credentials to access the server, do not add default mapping credentials.

Procedure

  1. In the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Web console, click the Administration tab.
  2. In the Navigator pane, select Domain Management > Engine Credentials.
  3. Select the InfoSphere Information Server engine for which you want to specify the default credentials.
  4. Click Open Configuration.
  5. In the User Name field, type the user name to be used by all InfoSphere Information Server users for whom a specific mapping is not defined.
  6. In the Password field, type the corresponding password. The user name and password that you provide must be a valid user name and password for the operating system where the engine tier components are installed.
  7. Confirm the password.
  8. Click Save and Close.
