Hi,

For BES Server, we able to change user password through following command

BESAdmin.exe /createUser: /userPassword: /userKeysOutputFolder: /userEmail: /masterOp:no /customContent:yes /sitePassword: /sitePvkFile:

http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?id=1842

However, are we able to do that for web report?

{Note: the main purpose is that we are locking the account, so that those account draw out will be restricted to say one days or few hours.}

Thanks and Best Regards

Hi Edmund,

I don’t believe we have a command line tool to do this, but you can probably use HTTP Posts to do the same commands that the web reports does. You can look at the HTML source on the web reports user management pages to see what values they are posting when you add/change/delete users. Alternately, you can try to adjust the users table in the besreporting database directly.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for replying. I have check and go through the SQL database and found the user fields. but the problem is for the password, it is decrypted.

Therefore, unless Bigfix provide a command tool or tell us the way to decode the password. Which i don’t think so.

I will informed the Security Adminsitrator that it can’t be done.

Best Regards

Edmund

Hey Edmund,

The password is hashed with a specific method that I will try to look up… In any event, you can always make a script for the HTML POST calls that I mentioned if you want to do this.
