Setting the administrator password

After installing the Caching Proxy packages, you must create an administrator identification and password for accessing the Configuration and Administration forms. The default proxy server configuration authenticates users that request the Configuration and Administration forms by using the webadmin.passwd passwords file in either the /opt/ibm/edge/cp/server_root/protect/ directory on Linux and UNIX systems or the \Program Files\IBM\edge\cp\etc\ directory on Windows systems. Package installation does not overwrite an existing webadmin.passwd file.

Use the following commands to add an administrator entry to the webadmin.passwd file:

Note:
The administrator user name and password are case-sensitive even if the operating system is not case-sensitive. Be sure to input the exact user name and password entered using the htadm command when accessing the Configuration and Administration forms.

For a detailed description of the htadm command, refer to htadm command.
