Configuring the Admin User

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is delivered with one user already defined. This internal user is the only one authorized to login until another user is configured.

The default name of this internal user is tibco-admin, and the LDAP Distinguished Name (DN) for this user is by default set to uid\=admin,ou\=system.

You can change the admin login name and the LDAP entry that the admin user references.

Procedure

  1. Decide which LDAP entry in your corporate LDAP directory will be the admin user.
  2. If desired, change the admin login name (tibco-admin). To do this, add the property AdminLdapName to the de.properties file and set it to the required value.
  3. Change the LDAP Distinguished Name(DN) for the admin user (the default internal user tibco-admin is set to AdminLdapDn=uid\=admin,ou\=system). To do this, add the property AdminLdapDn to the de.properties file and set it to the required value (note that equals signs must be escaped as in the default).
  4. Add the property AdminLdapAlias to the de.properties file and set it to point to your corporate LDAP server. The LDAP alias can be obtained from the LDAP Connection Resource Instance name, which has the format ldap/de/LDAPAlias. For example, if the LDAP Connection Resource Instance name is ldap/de/corporate, specify: 
       AdminLdapAlias=corporate
  5. Test that you can log in as the newly-specified admin user.
