Issue/Introduction
Hi Support,
Our company has a security policy to disable AND rename the default administrator account for all software in our company.
I would like to check if we were to both disable AND rename the default admin account "Siteminder" for AdminUI and Policy Store, would we face any issues administrating/patching/maintaining the software?
We have currently configured an external AD User Store and is mainly using AD accounts to login to AdminUI and administrate Siteminder using AD accounts. There is only the "Siteminder" account on the local user store and no other accounts on the local user.
Thank you.
Environment
Release : 12.8.07
Resolution
The default siteminder super user is created when initialize the policy store.
By current design, it cannot be renamed or disabled. Although, we recommend not to use the super user for daily operations, but create multiple administrator accounts for different admin roles in your organization, for more details, please refer to "Administrators" chapter of the product document,
