CLI Cookbook: Changing the Default admin username

The default domain user created on Delphix Engines is now admin instead of delphix_admin. When engines created before 5.3.1 are upgraded to 5.3.1 or later they will retain their old username 'delphix_admin'. To avoid complications Delphix recommends creating users with an admin role and then Disabling delphix_admin.

To change the default admin username. 

  1. ssh into your engine

  2. Go to users and select admin.

  3. Change the name to admin.

  4. Commit the operation.

Example

BASH
delphix.engine> user select admin

delphix.engine user 'admin'> update

delphix.engine user 'admin' update *> set name=dlpxadmin

delphix.engine user 'admin' update *> commit

delphix.engine user 'dlpxadmin'>
