Recovering Administrative Access

If you lose administrative access rights to SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor, there are manual steps you can take to recover them.

Most cases of lost administrative access are a result of configuration changes to your LDAP server or your policy.xml file.

To restore your administrative access rights: In the unlikely event that you need to recover administrative access, manually shut down the SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor server through the host machine’s operating system

  1. With machine-level administrator rights, log in to the machine running the Event Stream Processor server.
  2. Using operating system controls, force the Event Stream Processor server to shut down.
  3. Manually change your configuration settings as necessary:
    • Modify your LDAP configuration. For example, if the current LDAP server is unresponsive, modify the URL in the ESP_HOME/security/csi_ldap.xml file to point to a replica LDAP server.
    • Modify your Kerberos configuration.
    • Modify the ESP_HOME/security/policy.xml file.
  4. Restart the server.
Your administrative rights to SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor are restored.
