Changing the tibco-admin User’s Password

If, when you installed TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, you chose to install the internal directory server provided with TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, then a BPM Administrator user called tibco-admin is created automatically. The tibco-admin user is used to administer TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM.

Note: If you chose to install an external LDAP Directory Server when installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM then the section below does not apply.

By default, the password is secret. The tibco-admin user is mapped to the LDAP administrator user uid=admin,ou=system in the LDAP Directory Server. The password for the tibco-admin user can be changed using any LDAP browsing tool.
