Removing administrator passwords

The single-server installation used the administrator password that you supplied or the default administrator password to install and configure all of the software components. As a security measure, after you have verified that your system works correctly, you can remove the plain text passwords from the installation scripts.

Procedure

To remove the administrator passwords:

  1. Make a copy of the install_path/IBM/cpit/accounts.txt file, put it in a secure or encrypted location, and then delete the file from the original location.
  2. Run the pwdreset tool by entering the following commands:
    Operating System Description
    AIX®, Linux Run these commands:
    cd /opt/IBM/cpit/install-scripts 
    ./pwdreset.sh administrator_password
    Windows Run these commands:
    cd C:\Program Files(x86)\IBM\cpit\install-scripts 
    pwdreset administrator_password
    All installation script files show obscured password values.
