The IBM Jazz™ default ADMIN user allows you to log in to a new
server, configure the server, and create an initial JazzAdmins user. For enhanced
server security, you can disable the default ADMIN user. Disabling the default
ADMIN user also improves auditability, because it prevents actions that can
only be traced to the default ADMIN user.
You must be logged in as a member of the JazzAdmins group. If you
use LDAP, configure the Web server for LDAP, then from your LDAP, log in as
a member of the JazzAdmins group.
To disable the ADMIN user:
- Create a new user, and assign that user JazzAdmins repository
permission.
- Click Admin, and then click Jazz
Project Administration.
- Click Quality Manager to open the Quality
Manager project area.
- In the Administrators section, click Add.
- Enter the ID of the new user, and click Add and Close.
- Click Save.
- Log out and log back in as the new user.
- Return to the Quality Manager project area, and in the Administrators
section, click the ADMIN user to open the user's profile.
- In the Repository Permission's section, clear the JazzAdmins and JazzUsers check
boxes.
- In the Client Access Licenses section, clear any licenses that
are assigned to the ADMIN user.
- Click Save.
- If you are using the Apache Tomcat local user registry, open the
tomcat-users.xml file, and comment out the ADMIN user.
