After the first connection, it is strongly recommended not to use the default user account to access the application for security reasons. You can either change the default credentials of this account (security@company.com/admin) or create another administrator user and remove the default account. This account has only the role Security Administrator. Its type is No Project Access so it does not count in the license.

About this task

You can also follow these steps if you are unable to login to the database configuration page of Talend Administration Center.

Procedure

  4. Save the file.
  5. Restart your Talend Administration Center instance using the new password.
