6.2 Managing the Bootstrap Administrator Account

When you install the OpenText Cloud Bridge Agent, the installer sets up a bootstrap administrator account named cbadmin. You set a password for this account during installation and use those credentials to log in to the Agent console.

You cannot delete the bootstrap admin account, but you can change the password value if needed. As a best practice, change the bootstrap admin password in the .env file rather than entering it directly into the bridge-agent.yml configuration file.

To change the password:

  1. Log in to the Agent host server.

  2. Use the cd command to navigate to the <Agent_install_dir>/agent directory.

  3. Open the .env file.

  4. In the Authorization section, change the value for the BOOTSTRAP_PWD entry.

  5. Restart the Agent. For more information, see Restarting the OpenText Cloud Bridge Agent.
