Fix Recommendation

To set a strong password on the Manager Web app, run the ISEC7 integrated installer or use the following manual procedure:

Log in to the ISEC7 SPHERE server.
Browse to <Drive>:\Program Files\ISEC7 SPHERE\Tomcat\conf and open Tomcat-Users.xml.
Open the Command Prompt and CD to <Drive>:\Program Files\ISEC7 SPHERE\Tomcat\bin.
Execute the following using sha command:

digest –a sha password*

*Where password is the 15 character password designated for the account.

Copy the output, which is the hashed digest password.
In Tomcat-Users.xml, add in the password for the user with the obfuscated output at <user password="**", where ** is the obfuscated password.

example: <user password="310c55aa3d5b42217e7f0e80ce30467d$100000$529cceb1fbc80f4f461fc1bd56219d79d9c94d4a8fc46abad0646f27e753ff9e" roles="manager-gui,manager-script" username="admin"/>

Save the file.
Open <Drive>:\Program Files\ISEC7 SPHERE\Tomcat\conf\server.xml with Notepad.exe.
Enter: <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
resourceName="UserDatabase" digest=”sha”/>
Save the file.
Restart the ISEC7 SPHERE Web service using the services.msc.

Note: the password must meet the following complexity requirements:
-15 or more characters.
-at least one lower case letter.
-at least one upper case letter.
-at least one number.
