Issue/Introduction
In production environments, it is general best practice to change the password of the administrative user. In Identity Governance this user is AD1\EAdmin.
By default after installation of IG you can login with any password on this user. It is highly recommended to enable IG security (parameter comes as sage.security.disabled=true by default) and with a default password as eurekify.
This article deals with the procedure to perform this action
