18.0 Modifying the Configuration after Installation

After installing Sentinel, if you want to enter the valid license key, change the password, or modify any of the assigned ports, you can run the configure.sh script to modify them. The script is available in the /opt/novell/sentinel/setup folder.

  1. Shut down Sentinel using the following command:

    rcsentinel stop

  2. Specify the following command at the command line to run the configure.sh script:

    ./configure.sh
    
  3. Specify 1 to perform a standard configuration or specify 2 to perform a custom configuration of Sentinel.

  4. Press the Spacebar to read through the license agreement.

  5. Enter yes or y to accept the license agreement and continue with the installation.

    The installation might take a few seconds to load the installation packages.

  6. Enter 1 to use the default evaluation license key

    or

    Enter 2 to enter a purchased license key for Sentinel.

  7. Decide whether you want to keep the existing password for the admin administrator user.

    • If you want to keep the existing password, enter 1, then continue with Step 8.

    • If you want to change the existing password, enter 2, specify the new password, confirm the password, then continue with Step 8.

      The admin user is the identity used to perform administration tasks through the Sentinel web console, including the creation of other user accounts.

  8. Decide whether you want to keep the existing password for the dbauser database user.

    • If you want to keep the existing password, enter 1, then continue with Step 9.

    • If you want to change the existing password, enter 2, specify the new password, confirm the password, then continue with Step 9.

    The dbauser account is the identity that Sentinel uses to interact with the database. The password you enter here can be used to perform database maintenance tasks, including resetting the admin password if the admin password is forgotten or lost.

  9. Decide whether you want to keep the existing password for the appuser application user.

    • If you want to keep the existing password, enter 1, then continue with Step 10.

    • If you want to change the existing password, enter 2, specify the new password, confirm the password, then continue with Step 10.

      The appuser account is an internal identity, which Sentinel java process uses to establish connection and interact with the database. The password you enter here is used to perform database tasks.

  10. Change the port assignments for the Sentinel services by entering the desired number, then specifying the new port number.

  11. After you have changed the ports, specify 7 for done.

  12. Enter 1 to authenticate users using only the internal database.

    or

    If you have configured an LDAP directory in your domain, enter 2 to authenticate users by using LDAP directory authentication.

    The default value is 1.
