An Oracle installation engineer will install and test the SL4000 library using a pre-defined user ID ("installer") which initially uses with a well-known password. The first step the installer performs is to change this password.
After testing the SL4000, the installation engineer begins the hand-off process to transfer the library to the customer. The hand-off involves creating an Administrator user and finalizing the HTTPS certificate. The installation engineer initiates the hand-off, but the library administrator must complete the process.
In the first step of the hand-off, the administrator enters a user ID and password to create the Administrator account. After completing the hand-off, the library will remove the Installer user and the newly created Administrator user will be the ONLY account that can log in to the library.
In the second step of the hand-off, the administrator configures the certificate for HTTPS. There are two options:
Continue to use the default certificate (not recommended)
Generate a new self-signed certificate.
If you do not generate a self-signed certificate, you can still access the library using HTTPS, but it will use the weakest form of encryption. If you generate a self-signed certificate, the library begins using it immediately. For best security, you should replace the self-signed certificate with a third-party signed certificate (see "Install a Third-Party Signed Certificate" in the SL4000 Library Guide).
If you need to decommission the library, an Administrator or Service user can reset the library to factory defaults through the GUI. However, you CANNOT undo this action. Redeploying the library will require Oracle Services to re-perform the installation and customer hand-off.
