Change the username of the server admin account?

Hello,

Since it's not possible to create new users in the Discovery version (at least not to my knowledge...), I was wondering if it's possible to permanently change the username of the main admin account to something other than simply "admin"?

I found how to modify the agent's "default_XXXX" configuration by editing the file on the server (since it can't be done directly from the console), but I confess I can't find how to change the admin account's username.

Regards,
Bastien

Hi Bastien,

yes, it's a limitation of the Discovery version. Some product segmentation is necessary with the Enterprise version...

I would have liked to negotiate with my Wapt developers to work for free, but they refused... ;-)

Best regards,

Denis

Hi Denis,

Thanks for the quick reply. No worries, I kind of expected that answer. :)
Since the server is public (Oracle cloud), it would have been convenient to be able to use something other than just "admin" (especially for the web interface). But the password is relatively (very) long, so it's fine, I'm not too worried.
I understand that since version 2.6, repositories (/wapt; /wua; etc.) are only accessible by registered agents (via mTLS, I think), but is that also the case in the Discovery version now? (I believe that previously, mTLS activation was reserved for the Enterprise version, if I'm not mistaken...)

Best regards,
Bastien
