Changing the Oracle Installation Owner Passwords

You must change the default administrative account passwords after installation to secure your system.

Use the web console to specify the root and database users SYS, SYSTEM, and PDBADMIN passwords. Specify passwords to comply with your enterprise user security protocols.

Refer to the Oracle Database Appliance Security Guide and Oracle Database Security Guide for information about the required configuration and best practices to secure database systems.

Changing the oda-admin User Password

Use the odacli-adm set-credential command to change the oda-admin user password to restrict access to the Oracle Appliance Manager Web Console.

Oracle Database Appliance is configured with a default user name, oda-admin, and password. The credentials enable access to the Web Console. After deploying the appliance, Oracle recommends resetting the oda-admin user password.

Note:

Only root user can reset the oda-admin user credentials.

1. Log in to the appliance as root.
2. Run the odacli-adm set-credential command to reset the password. Enter the new password when prompted.

   # odacli-adm set-credential --password --username oda-admin
     Agent password: new password
