Important:
Back up the existing fathomRealm.properties file before making any changes.
This procedure restores the default administrator credentials.
Previously created users, roles, or authentication settings stored in fathomRealm.properties may need to be recreated after the reset.
To reset the "admin" password for Fathom Management, OpenEdge Management, or OpenEdge Explorer, do the following after opening a PROENV shell with $DLC/bin/proenv or %DLC%\bin\proenv.bat:
1) Stop AdminServer
Stop Fathom:
fathom -stop
Stop the AdminServer:
proadsv -stop
(or stop the corresponding services on Windows)
2) Navigate to the OEM/OEE install directory.
OpenEdge 12.x:
UNIX/Linux:
cd $OEM/config
Windows:
cd %OEM%\config
OpenEdge 10.x / 11.x:
UNIX/Linux:
cd $OEM/etc
Windows:
cd %OEM%\etc
3) Back up the existing file:
fathomRealm.properties
4) Copy fathomRealm.properties.orig to fathomRealm.properties.
5) Start the AdminServer:
proadsv -start
(or start the corresponding service on Windows)
6) For OpenEdge 12.x, perform the following additional steps:
UNIX/Linux:
rm $OEM/work/configdb/*
rm $OEM/work/cachedb/*
Windows:
del %OEM%\work\configdb\*
del %OEM%\work\cachedb\*
Restart the Fathom plugin:
fathom -start
7) Wait for the AdminServer and Fathom services to fully start before attempting to log in.
8) Verify the password reset by logging in to the OE Console with the following default credentials:
Username: admin
Password: admin
9) Recreate any previously configured users, roles, or permissions if required.
To manage or recreate users, navigate through the Console:
Options > Authorized Users
