Passwords for system users
After you install IBM Security Identity Manager, three system users are defined. These system users enable IBM Security Identity Manager to communicate with the database and the directory server.
By
default, the following systems users are defined:
- itimuser
- This user is the IBM Security Identity Manager system user. The system user is created manually before the IBM Security Identity Manager installation program was run.
- db2admin or db2inst1
- These users are
the DB2® system
users that are created by the DB2 installation program. If you installed DB2 on a Windows system, the user name
is
db2admin. If you installed DB2 on a Linux® system, the user name isdb2inst1. - ldapdb2
- This user is the LDAP system user.
Initially, the db2admin or db2inst1 user is created by the DB2 installation process with a password that is set to never expire. However, the password for the ldapdb2 user and itimuser users can expire, based on the password policy of your system. If the passwords for these users expire, or are changed, you must reconfigure IBM Security Identity Manager and its associated middleware to use the new password values.
