NetOps Portal DA Vertica password

Products

• CA Infrastructure Management
• CA Performance Management

Issue/Introduction

While trying to shutdown the Vertica database, it is requesting the password.

However, I do not remember what the password was set to during the installation.

Is there a way to find the Vertica password after installing?

Environment

DX NetOops 20.2.x

Resolution

The vertica password can be found in the drinstall.properties file under the DbPwd parameter. 

If you have deleted this file for security reasons, or if you used a password file during the install, please contact support for assistance getting the password out of vertica.

DbPwd=The database password 
Default: dbpass 

NOTE: The database password that you define here is used during the installation of the Data Aggregator.

You can use special characters (except for single quotation marks) in passwords.

If the DbPwd property is not found or blank, the script prompts for this information at runtime
