Access and default credentials

Edit online

The following user accounts are accessible from a fresh IBM® Storage Defender Copy Data Management installation or deployment. Change the password for each account after installation or deployment in your environment.

In general, when you log in to IBM Storage Defender Copy Data Management for the first time for each of these accounts, you will be prompted to change the default password. New passwords must adhere to the following rules:

Be a minimum of 15 characters in length
Contain at least one uppercase letter
Contain at least one lowercase letter
Contain at least one digit
Contain at least one special character: (!, @, #, $, %, etc.)
Three or more characters in the new password that must not be present in the old password.

Important: When you deploy IBM Storage Defender Copy Data Management, you must change the SYSTEM account password through SSH before you can access the Administrative Console. SSH into the appliance with the username administrator and the default password. After authenticating, you will be prompted to change the password from the default. This account can now be used to log into the Administrative Console.
