Changing the Default Passwords

With the installation of the Automation Engine, a default user account called UC exists for system Client 0 (username: UC, Department: UC, Password: UC). This user has full rights and privileges. Change the credentials of this user after your first logon.

In addition, the credentials (password and name) of an Admin user can be changed via CLI.

To Change a User Password

  1. Login to AWI using the available UC user credentials.
  2. Open the login and session information menu on the upper right corner of the screen.
  3. Select Change Password and fill out the fields on the dialog.
  4. Click OK.

To Change the Credentials of a CDA Admin User

  1. Open the /Utilities/ImportExportCLI folder 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 "system_name" property.

    <Property name="system_name" >

    <Value>newadmin</Value>

  5. Import the updated user with the following command:
