This section describes how to set a different location of the password databased used
for authentication.
The password database is created when authentication is enabled. The default location
of the password database is /etc/opscenter/passwd.db for
package installs and
install_location/conf/passwd.db for
tarball installs. You can change the location of the password database in the
file.
opscenterd.conf
The location of the opscenterd.conf file depends on the type of
installation:
| Location |
Package |
Installer (GUI or text mode) |
Tarball |
| Service |
No-service |
| /etc/opscenter/opscenterd.conf |

Procedure
-
Edit the file and change the
location of the password database.
Set passwd_db to the new location in the
[authentication] section.
[authentication]
passwd_db = path to new password database
Note: If you have already enabled authentication, copy the existing
passwd.db file to the new location. If you do not,
OpsCenter will create a new password database in the specified location when
it is started, and your existing users and roles will be lost.
-
Restart OpsCenter:
- Package
installations:
$ sudo service opscenterd restart
- Tarball installations:
Find the OpsCenter
process ID (
pid), kill the process using its PID
number, and then start the
OpsCenter:
$ ps -ef | grep opscenter
$ sudo kill pid
install_location/bin/opscenter
(Use -f to start in the foreground.)
- Windows installations:
Restart the OpsCenter Service from the Control
Panel.
