Configuring authentication profiles on the orchestration server and candidate systems
Deployment Manager provides default operator IDs and authentication profiles. You must enable the default operator IDs and configure the authentication profiles that the orchestration server uses to communicate with the candidate systems.
Configure the default authentication profile by doing
these steps:
- On the orchestration server, enable the DMReleaseAdmin operator ID and specify
its password.
- Log in to the orchestration server with [email protected]/install.
- In Designer Studio, click , and then click DMReleaseAdmin.
- In the Designer Studio header, click the operator ID initials, and then click Operator.
- On the Edit Operator ID rule form, click the Security tab.
- Clear the Disable Operator check box.
- Click Save.
- Click Update password.
- In the Change Operator ID Password dialog box, enter a password, reenter it to confirm it, and then click Submit.
- Clear the Force password change on next login check box if you do not want to change the password for the DMReleaseAdmin operator ID the next time that you log in.
- Log out of the orchestration server.
- On each candidate system, update the DMReleaseAdmin authentication profile to
use the new password. All candidate systems use this authentication profile to
communicate with the orchestration server about the status of the tasks in the pipeline.
- Log in to each candidate system with the DMAppAdmin user name and the password that you specified.
- Click .
- Click DMReleaseAdmin.
- On the Edit Authentication Profile rule form, click Set password.
- In the Password dialog box, enter the password, and then click Submit.
- Save the rule form.
- On each candidate system, which includes the development, QA, staging, and
production systems, enable the DMAppAdmin operator ID. If you want to create
your own operator IDs, ensure that they point to the PegaDevOpsFoundation application.
- Log in to each candidate system with [email protected]/install.
- In Designer Studio, click , and then click DMAppAdmin.
- In the Designer Studio header, click the operator ID initials, and then click Operator.
- On the Edit Operator ID rule form, click the Security tab.
- Clear the Disable Operator check box.
- Click Save.
- Click Update password.
- In the Change Operator ID Password dialog box, enter a password, reenter it to confirm it, and then click Submit.
- Clear the Force password change on next login check box if you do not want to change the password for the DMReleaseAdmin operator ID the next time that you log in.
- Log out of each candidate system.
- On the orchestration server, modify the DMAppAdmin authentication profile to use
the new password. The orchestration server uses this authentication profile to
communicate with candidate systems so that it can run tasks in the pipeline.
- Log in to the orchestration server with the DMAppAdmin user name and the password that you specified.
- Click .
- Click DMAppAdmin.
- On the Edit Authentication Profile rule form, click Set password.
- In the Password dialog box, enter the password, and then click Submit.
- Save the rule form.
- Do one of the following actions:
- If you are updating to Deployment Manager 3.4.x, resume the update procedure from step 2. For more information, see Updating to Deployment Manager 3.4.x.
- If you are not updating, continue the installation procedure. For more information, see Configuring the orchestration server.
- Understanding default operator IDs and authentication profiles
When you install Deployment Manager on all the systems in your pipeline, default applications, operator IDs, and authentication profiles that communicate between the orchestration server and candidate systems are also installed.
