Disabling the default administrative user

The 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, disable default ADMIN access. Disabling the default ADMIN also improves auditability because it prevents actions that can only be traced to the default ADMIN user.

Before you begin

You must be logged in to Admin Web UI and be a member of the JazzAdmins group.

Procedure

  1. Browse to the Jazz Team Server Setup; the default is https://<hostname or IP>:9443/jazz/setup where hostname or IP is the value you used when you first installed and configured the server. If you use LDAP, configure the Web server for LDAP, then from your LDAP, log in as a member of the JazzAdmins group.
  2. Navigate to the Setup User Registry page to configure the User Registry to create or import your new user as a member of the JazzAdmins group.
  3. On the Setup User Registry page, ensure that the Disable default ADMIN access check box is selected.
  4. Complete any remaining steps on the page and click Next.
  5. If the Setup logs in as the new user, the default ADMIN access is disabled.
