Changing the Credentials of a CDA Admin User

To Change the Credentials of a CDA Admin User

  1. Open the ImportExportCLI folder Automic\Release.Manager\Utilities\ImportExportCLI of your installation package.
  2. Export the admin user for which you want to change the credentials with the following command:

    ImportExportCLI.exe export -usr 100/ARASERVICE/AUTOMIC -pwd xxxx -mt User -format xml -fi admin_user.xml -where "system_name eq 'admin'" -con http://araserver/ARA -properties "system_id,system_name"

  3. Add the lines in bold to the newly created XML (for example, admin_user.xml):

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <Sync xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="sync.xsd">

    <Entity mainType="User">

    <Property name="system_id" >

    <Value>1</Value>

    </Property>

    <Property name="system_name" >

    <Value>admin</Value>

    </Property>

    <Property name="system_password">

    <Value>newpassword</Value>

    </Property>

    </Entity>

    </Sync>

  4. Remove the isIdentity="true" parameter from the Property system_name.

    Note: You can also change the admin user name:

    <Property name="system_name" >

    <Value>newadmin</Value>

  5. Import the updated user with the following command:

    ImportExportCLI.exe import -usr 100/ARASERVICE/AUTOMIC -pwd xxx -mt User -format xml -fi admin_user.xml -con http://araserver/ARA
