Change and Encrypt the APM Connect Service User Names and Passwords

IMPORTANT: During installation, the system defines default users and passwords in a configuration file. Complete these steps on the APM Connect server to correctly secure the server.

Steps

1. On the APM Connect server, if the service is running, stop the APM Connect service.
2. Navigate to C:\APMConnect\Utilities\runtime\etc.
3. Open the file users.properties in an application that you can use to modify a text file (e.g., Notepad).
4. Change the passwords for the default user names.
5. Specify your own user names using the following format:

   user=password[,role] [,role] [,role]...

   - or -

   user=password[,group] [,group] [,group]...

   Note: For information about groups and defining roles, refer to the Talend documentation.

6. Save and close the file.
7. To specify authorizations for the jobserver, open the file users.csv.
8. Add the authorized user names and passwords in the following format:

   username,password

   Note: For information about jobserver requirements, refer to the Talend documentation.

9. Save and close the file.
10. To enable password encryption, open the file system.properties.
11. Add the following statements at the end of the file:
    # edit config
    config:edit org.apache.karaf.jaas
    config:property-set encryption.enabled true
    config:update
    
    # force a restart
    bundle:restart
    
12. Save and close the file.
13. Start the APM Connect service.
