Post-Installation configuration API
By using the commands in the Configuration Wizard API, you can perform post-installation configuration of multiple system components in a bulk.
Parameters
Method | Parameters | Required/optional | Applies | Description | Supported components |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
so | name pass | Optional | Only on a first boot | Security Officer account credentials — a user name and a password. | All |
certificate | common lifetime | Optional | Only on a first boot | SSL-server certificate — common or a lifetime. | All |
To create an initial account
On the next step of the Configuration Wizard, you must set a username and password for the initial user of the system, as shown in the following figure, and click Submit.
Creating credentials for the initial user
The initial account has Security-level access. This means that the user logging on with these credentials can access all functionality, including security features, which are invisible to non-Security-level users. Security-level users are usually responsible for handling cryptographic keys, confidential data, and other similar items, and can add other Security-level accounts to the system. The Administrator role is the only role defined for the BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring Aggregation Server for Extended Reporting component.
To specify SSL-server-certificate properties
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) keys and certificates secure the following types of connections:
- Between users of the web interfaces and the system itself
- Between end-user experience components
The certificate is self-signed; it uniquely identifies the component instance.
Enter the certificate's default common name (CN), which is the IP address of the management port of the component, as shown in the following figure. You can select a custom name (for example, the host name of the component instance — analyzer1.example.com).
SSL server certificate properties
- (Optional) Specify how long you want the certificate to be valid (in other words, a number of days before it expires). By default, the certificate lifetime is unlimited.
- Click Submit.
