Creating a new System Administrator account and removing the default cust account from User Management

About this task

For the Bundled Server and the Software-Only server with the Avaya Services Package (cs-service), AE Services installs the cust account in two locations — in the local Linux password store and in User Management (local LDAP directory).

If you do not want to use the User Management cust account, you can create a new User Management account that is equivalent to cust, and then remove the cust account from User Management.

Procedure

  1. From your browser, log in to the AE Services Management Console as cust with the default password (custpw).
  2. From the main menu, select User Management > User Admin > Add User.
  3. Complete the Add User page as follows:
    1. In the User Id field, enter a user identifier, for example aesadmin.
    2. In the Common Name field, enter the name the user prefers to use, for example Jan Green.
    3. In the Surname field, enter the user's last name, for example Green.
    4. In the User Password field, enter a password.

      The default User Management password policy, which is based on a US standard keyboard, calls for a minimum of 8 characters, including a minimum of 1 upper case, 1 lower case, 1 alphanumeric, and 1 special character. The following characters are not permitted: $ (dollar sign), ’ (apostrophe), " (quotation mark), \ (backslash), the space character, and any ASCII control-character.

    5. In the Avaya Role field, select userservice.useradmin.
    6. Click Apply.
  4. Log out of the AE Services Management Console (you are logging out as cust).
  5. Log in to the AE Services Management Console again with the user identifier and password you created in Step 3.
  6. From the main menu, select User Management > User Admin > List All Users.
  7. From the List All Users page, select the option button next to cust, and click Delete.
  8. From the Delete User page, click Delete.
