Disable and Rename Default super user in Policy Server

Products

• SITEMINDER

Issue/Introduction

As per company security policy, can be disabled and renamed the default administrator account (siteminder) for SiteMinder?

Would be any issues for administrating, patching, maintaining the AdminUI and Policy Server when renaming siteminder account to another name?

 

Environment

Policy Server
AdminUI

 

Resolution

The default "siteminder" super user is created when initialize the Policy Store. 

By the current design, it cannot be renamed or disabled. Although, it's recommended to not use the super user for daily operations, and create multiple administrator accounts for different admin roles in the organization (1)
