By default, the Oracle Commerce Platform automatically creates a set of standard user accounts, groups, and privileges each time you start your application (except when the liveconfig
layer is enabled). Doing so ensures that the necessary accounts are initialized correctly.
On each application startup, the /atg/dynamo/security/AdminAccountManager
runs an account initializer specified by the component’s accountInitializer
property. By default, this property points to the /atg/dynamo/security/AdminAccountInitializer
component.
The AdminAccountInitializer
object obtains its information from another account manager (usually /atg/dynamo/security/SimpleXmlUserAuthority
), which reads account information from the XML files included in each product module:
<ATG11dir>/
module
root
/src/config/atg/dynamo/security
The Oracle Commerce Platform combines these files, resulting in an account database that contains the appropriate login accounts, groups, and privileges for each module in your application. The account initializer copies this information from the SimpleXmlUserAuthority
into the AdminAccountManager
each time you start your application.
Note: The Oracle Commerce Platform preserves new accounts and groups that you create, and any changes you make to the default login accounts. Any default accounts or groups that you delete, however, are recreated each time you start your application, unless you disable the automatic account creation feature.
Automatic account creation is disabled by default in the liveconfig
configuration layer. If you want to prevent the Oracle Commerce Platform from recreating the default accounts in development mode as well, set the forceCreation
property of the /atg/dynamo/security/AdminAccountInitializer
component to false
.
Default User Accounts
The following table lists the default login accounts for the Oracle Commerce Platform and Core Commerce. You can use the ATG Control Center to change the names, passwords and group assignments for any of these accounts. To learn more about these accounts and the access privileges associated with them, see the Managing User Accounts section.
