Predefined Appliance User Accounts
Predefined users can access the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Appliance through a network connection, or through a console connected to the appliance.
The appliance can only be accessed using predefined SSH or SFTP accounts using the IP address specified during software initialization. See CLI Overview for information accessing the appliance using SSH.
Three preconfigured users have access to the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Appliance:
- tibadm The tibadm account is used to issue commands to manage the appliance. Use SSH to login to the appliance as tibadm.
The appliance automatically launches the CLI when the login process is complete. Using commands, this user is able to perform such administrative activities as starting a TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server instance, copying log and core files to the file transfer directory with the export command, and updating SSL certificate files by way of the import command.
The password for the tibadm user is determined when the appliance is first configured. See Initializing the Software for more information. If you need to change the password, run the initial-config command. If you have forgotten the password, contact TIBCO Support.
- tibfile The tibfile account is used to transfer files to and from the appliance.
Use SFTP to login to the appliance as tibfile, as described in Working with the File Transfer Directory.
As tibfile you are able to:
- Retrieve files placed in the directory by the tibadm user.
- Add files to the directory for deployment by the tibadm user.
Only SFTP transfers are available. SCP transfers cannot be used.
The password for the tibfile user is determined when the appliance is first configured.
- admin The admin user is for use only when working with TIBCO support, and has complete access to the appliance by way of SSH.
In order to log on as the admin user, you must first log in using the tibadm password, and then correctly respond to a challenge code prompt.
