internal processes running on the VCS and TMS. System administrators must not use these
accounts.
These accounts have a username of cn=Directory Manager and a default password of
TANDBERG (all upper case). Both passwords must be changed as soon as possible to maintain
security of the VCS data. Warnings are shown on the web UI and the CLI if either account has the
default password set.
If your VCS uses TMS as an external manager, you must use TMS to change the passwords on
n
these accounts.
If your VCS is not managed by TMS, you have to change these passwords by logging into the VCS
n
as the root user. Note that if your VCS is subsequently reconfigured to use TMS, the password
must first be reset to the default value of TANDBERG.

This section contains instructions for changing passwords on the TMS Agent.

TMS Agent LDAP and replication accounts

The TMS Agent is accessed via two accounts: one for connecting via LDAP into the TMS Agent
database, and one for managing the replication of the TMS Agent database. These accounts have a
username of cn=Directory Manager and a default password of TANDBERG (all upper case). For
security reasons you must change these accounts' passwords from their default values as soon as
possible. You will receive a warning on the VCS web UI and the CLI if either account has the default
password configured.
Note: these accounts are only used by the internal processes running on the VCS and TMS. System
administrators must not use these accounts.

VCSs managed by TMS

If your VCS uses TMS as an external manager, you must use TMS to change the passwords on these
accounts. This ensures that the VCS and TMS keep in sync with each other. If your VCS is part of a
cluster, TMS will replicate the modified password across all peers.
To change the TMS Agent LDAP account password from within TMS:
1. Go to Administrative Tools > Configuration > TMS Agent
2. Enter the new LDAP Configuration Password.
3. Click Save.
To change the TMS Agent replication account password from within TMS:
1. Go to Administrative Tools > Configuration > TMS Agent
2. Enter the new LDAP Replication Password.
3. Click Save.
These instructions are for TMS version 12.5. Refer to the TMS documentation for later releases.

VCSs not managed by TMS

If your VCS is not managed by TMS, you have to change these passwords by logging into the VCS as
the root user (by default you can only do this using a serial connection or SSH).
To change the password for the TMS Agent LDAP account:
