Setting Passwords or Disabling Default Login Accounts
Set new passwords for default user accounts if you plan to use them.
If you do not plan to use the accounts, disable them. The default user accounts are sccadmin and sccuser (Sybase Control Center) and uafadmin (SCC agent).
Prerequisites
Before disabling the sccadmin or uafadmin accounts:
Configure Sybase Control Center (or the SCC agent, if you are disabling its uafadmin account) to authenticate users through LDAP or the operating system. See Get Started > Setting Up Security in the Sybase Control Center online help.
Grant Sybase Control Center (or the SCC agent) administration privileges to at least one user account in LDAP or the operating system. See Get Started > User Authorization in the online help.
Task
In a text editor, open the csi.properties file:
Windows: %SYBASE%\SCC-3_2\conf\csi.properties
UNIX: $SYBASE/SCC-3_2/conf/csi.properties
Search for the account name:
Sybase Control Center: =sccadmin
SCC agent: =uafadmin
The line containing the account name and the lines following should look similar to this:
CSI.loginModule.2.options.username=<sccadmin or uafadmin>
CSI.loginModule.2.options.password=
CSI.loginModule.2.options.roles=uaAgentAdmin,uaPluginAdmin,sccAdminRole
CSI.loginModule.2.options.encrypted=false
(Optional) To disable the account, comment out the sccadmin or uafadmin block of the file by inserting a hash or number symbol (#) at the beginning of every line. In Sybase Control Center, do the same for sccuser. Then skip to step 11.
Encrypt and copy a password for the sccadmin or uafadmin account. (See Encrypting a Password.)
Paste the encrypted password at the end of the line that ends with password=.
On the bottom line, change encrypted=false to encrypted=true.
In Sybase Control Center, encrypt and copy a different password for sccuser. For the SCC agent, skip to step 11.
Return to csi.properties and search for =sccuser.
Paste the encrypted password at the end of sccuser’s password= line.
On the bottom line of the sccuser block, change encrypted=false to encrypted=true.
Save the file and exit.
To make the new or disabled passwords take effect,
restart the Sybase Control Center server or agent on which the changes were made.
Encrypting a Password
Use the passencrypt utility to encrypt passwords and other values that must be kept secure while stored in text files.
