Defining PIX/PDQ Security

You create user accounts for MIDM and PIX Console access using the GlassFish Admin Console. For the PIX Console, there is one predefined user group to which users must be added. For the MIDM, there are two predefined user groups and you can define additional user groups each with different permissions. For more information about configuring user groups (roles) for MIDM, see Defining Master Index Data Manager Security in Maintaining Sun Master Indexes.

The following users are predefined for you when you install the PIX/PDQ Manager:

• For the MIDM, a user named midm with a password of midm.

• For the PIX Console, a user named pixadmin with a password of adminadmin.
