15.4 Configuring the PTM User Credentials Used by a Connector

We recommend that you create a unique user identity for the Connector instance. Having a unique Connector user for each Migrate Connector helps you more easily distinguish actions performed by the Connector instance in logs and transformation histories.

To create a unique user account for the Connector instance, see Section 9.4, Creating a User for Connector Login.

To modify the user account credentials used by the Connector:

  1. Log in to the Connector host server with a root user account.

  2. In a text editor, open the /opt/microfocus/migrate_connector/config/settings.cfg file.

  3. In the top section called [PlateSpin Transformation Manager Server], specify the username and password for the user account as the values for ptm_username and ptm_password.

  4. Save the file, then exit the text editor.

  5. Start or restart PlateSpin Migrate Connector. In a terminal console, enter

    systemctl restart ps_migrate_connector.service

    For the Migrate Connector instance installed on the PTM Appliance, you can alternatively restart the Connector service from the Appliance Management Console.

    See Section 16.9, Starting, Stopping, or Restarting the Connector Service.
