The default domain user created on Delphix Engines is now admin instead of delphix_admin. When engines created before 5.3.1 are upgraded to 5.3.1 or later they will retain their old username 'delphix_admin'. To avoid complications Delphix recommends creating users with an admin role and then Disabling delphix_admin.


1. ssh into your engine with a user that has Admin privileges.

ssh admin@delphix

2. Go to Users and select the User you would like to change the password of.

delphix > user
delphix user > ls
delphix user > select example_user
delphix user "example_user" > ls

3. Select updateCredential to allow you to change the password and set a new password.

delphix user "example user" > updateCredential
delphix user "example_user" updateCredential *> set newCredential.password=<new password>

4. Commit the operation.

delphix user "example_user" updateCredential *> commit

Example:

ssh admin@delphixengine
delphixengine > user
delphixengine user > ls
