Change the User Account
During installation of ThingWorx Analytics functionality, the following default network account is created:
twxanalytics
This default account is created for the ThingWorx Analytics Server and the Descriptive Analytics Microservice to use when running local services. However, an advanced option is available to override the default account during installation and specify a different user account.
To override the default account, add the following to your installation command: --user_account <name>
|
|
The user account provided for override must belong to a user that already exists in the system.
|
Depending on which installation mode you are using, your installation command should look like one of the following:
./ThingWorxAnalytics-<n.n.n>-linux-x64-installer.run --user_account <user_name>
./ThingWorxAnalytics-<n.n.n>-linux-x64-installer.run --baseinstalldir "<base installation directory>" --unattendedmodeui minimal --mode unattended --accept_eula YES --THINGWORX_FOUNDATION_IP_ADDR <IP address or host name> --THINGWORX_FOUNDATION_PORT <Port where ThingWorx is running> --THINGWORX_APPKEY <valid ThingWorx App Key> --ANALYTICS_SERVER_THINGNAME <Analytics Server Thing name> --USE_SSL <true/false> --user_account <user_name>
To verify that the user account was overridden successfully, open the terminal window as root user and execute the following command:
ps -ef | grep java
Scroll through the listed jar files to ensure that the correct user account is displayed for each.
