Password Management in Service Manager & Service Manager Dialog.

[Julia_Buchner_9324]

You can set a password in the service manager or in the service manager dialog.

1) Service Manager

You have to configure it in the UCYBSMGR.INI which is the configuration file of the service manager:

[GLOBAL]
[...]
password=mypassword

2) Service Manager Dialog

You can set with a click on the left top icon in the context menu 'change password':


After implementing this secure access, you'll have to enter the password if you want to start or stop a process.
If you change the password on the Service Manager Dialog, you'll impact the Service Manager.

Hint :
If you use the Service Manager Dialog to secure your Service Manager, the password will be automatically encrypted.

The encrypted password is generated on the Automation Engine:

UCYBCRYP[.EXE] -p -n <Password

This will generate a string similar to this output:

--101A791A1B0D6D6F59

Copy this string without the two beginning dashes "--" characters.

On the Unix Host, edit the Service Manager configuration file ucsmgr.ini with and add this character string as follows:

GLOBAL]
........
password=101A791A1B0D6D6F59

Now add the two missing dashes "--" manually as follows:

password=--101A791A1B0D6D6F59

Save the file, close vi and restarting the Service Manager Process to activate the password encryption.
