Changing the Root User Password

Changing the Root User Password

For yuuvis® RAD version >= 6.12

The usage of the root user for connecting the microservices to the core-service has been replaced by a shared secret API key that is used to authenticate the core-service's internal system user that always has full rights.
Please see "Enabling the System User Login for Microservices" for instructions on configuring the shared secret API key.

For yuuvis® RAD version < 6.12

The yuuvis® RAD root user is preconfigured with every installation. This user must exist and always has to have full rights on all object types because the yuuvis® RAD components use this user to communicate with each other. 
Thus, changing the password of this user makes changes to all yuuvis® RAD components necessary. To change the root user password, follow these steps:

  1. Go to management-studio > Organization > root-user to change the user's password.
  2. Stop all yuuvis® RAD components (services and applications).
  3. In the <service-manager>\config\application-red.yml file , change the value of the "enaio.dms.password" key to match the new password.
  4. In the <rendition-plus>\webapps\osrenditioncache\WEB-INF\classes\config\config.properties file, change the value of the "admin.password" key to match the new password.
  5. In the <rendition-plus>\webapps\renditionplus\WEB-INF\classes\config\config.properties file, change the value of the "admin.password" key to match the new password.
  6. If applicable, change the saved password in the enterprise-manager, designer, agent, and in the browser.
  7. If applicable, change the configuration of custom microservices and third-party components that access yuuvis® RAD.
  8. Restart all yuuvis® RAD components. The password has now been changed successfully.

If you or any application enters the wrong password 3 times, the user account will be permanently locked until an administrator unlocks it again. Until that time, none of the yuuvis® components can access the dms-service. This will result in failed searches or object indexing. Also, inconsistencies may emerge.
