The App Visibility portal and collector include a database that is created with the default superuser password avpsql.
Warning
Before using App Visibility, you must change the default database password to avoid security breaches and unauthorized access.
For each App Visibility portal or collector component, you can modify the default superuser password. The password is required when you need to backup, restore, and perform other maintenance tasks on the database.
If the App Visibility portal and the App Visibility collector are installed on the same host, they use the same database, so changing the password affects both components, regardless of which script you use to change the password.
