Default username for WCS database

[sgilfrin1]

Silly question, but what is the default username for the SQL database that runs in the background, our WCS server crashed recently and when I try to restart the WCS server it says the database cannot authenicate. I've found the password reset command for the database. I'm guessing its root.

I havent checked lately but I think it is root and public.

Thats what I thought it was. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and run a password change.

Yes, please use the password change procedure. It takes just a few seconds.

To be on the safe side, run a database backup prior to it.

Once the password is changed you have nothing else to set in WCS, WCS is updated about the new password.

the user is ''dba'' and the pasword is whatever you set it to using the dbadmin command.
