Solution | An administrator can change the user’s password,
and then force the user to reset the password on the next login attempt. By default, the password for a Fabric Manager user account
expires after 365 days. Unisys recommends the ClearPath Forward administrator
manually set a separate external password expiration reminder (for
example, an Outlook task) to notify the administrator that the password
is about to expire and should therefore be changed prior to the password
expiring to ensure no interruption of normal operations. Be sure to
adjust the external password expiration reminder accordingly when
the password is reset or Fabric Manager software is reinstalled. To change the user’s password After the Fabric Manager upgrade process, browse to
the /usr/local/ffm/scripts/ldap folder and copy the change-user-password.ldif file to the /home/administrator
folder. It is recommended that you retain the same name. Using an editor such as vi, edit the file as follows
and save the changes. The file also contains instructions in the form
of comments. Note:
When you replace the placeholders with actual values in the
file, ensure that you remove the angular brackets. In the following line, replace <userid> with the
login id of the user who needs a password change dn: uid=<userid>,ou=users,dc=unisys,dc=com In the following line, replace <password> with
the password that you want to set for the user. userPassword: <password> In the following line, replace <userid> with the
login id of the same user, so that the user is forced to reset the
password on next login attempt. dn: uid=<userid>,ou=users,dc=unisys,dc=com
Log in to the FMP and open a new terminal session
or if you are connecting remotely, use a tool like PuTTY or the remote
desktop function of the Fabric Management Platform and execute the
following command: ldapmodify -D "cn=root,dc=unisys,dc=com" -W -f /home/administrator/change-user-password.ldif Type the password. The default password is ‘LDAPAdmin@1’.
